DO NOT FEED the Key Deer

IMG_2271resize

I have discovered that someone is feeding the Key Deer right down the street from me, attracting the herd of nine I saw yesterday.Then again today I saw four bucks eating pellets the humans gave them. Haven’t the people lived here long enough to realize that feeding the deer is harmful for them? It keeps them from moving around, which prevents the infestation of parasites and other diseases. They also live on a natural diet of over 150 different plants and berries on the island and when people feed them it prevents them from grazing naturally.IMG_2286resize  IMG_2280resizeIMG_2273resize
