Letter: Don't feed the wildlife
Posted on August 30, 2010My family and I frequent Waughop Lake in Fort Steilacoom Park. Many times we have passed people feeding the waterfowl when it is clearly posted not to. We were there this weekend and happened by a extremely ill squirrel. Upon further investigation my husband alerted me to an extremely large pile of SALTED mixed nuts, in an secluded area at the base of a tree! While we watched, the squirrel stumbled to the pile (it could barely stand) and lay there struggling to consume more of the nuts that were causing it great harm. We disposed of the nuts and are hoping this doesn't happen again. Human food is NOT for wildlife to consume!
