Question

Are there any laws against feeding wildlife; such as raccoons and squirrels?

Answer

Currently there are no laws pertaining to the feeding of wildlife in Sulphur, however please bear in mind that wildlife such as raccoons carry a wide variety of diseases. Once you begin feeding these types of animals they will soon become a nuisance to you and your neighbors. Tips for keeping stray cats and other wildlife from becoming a nuisance: * Do not throw leftovers outside. * Use Bungee Cords to tie down your trashcans. * Pick up any leftovers after your pets finish eating. * Close up any holes that lead to your home or attic. * See "nuisance wildlife" links at bottom of page.
