In a ridiculous assault on private property rights, the radical Leftists in Carrboro have made it illegal to feed deer on public or private property. If they can ban this, what can’t they ban on you from doing on your own land?
Starting immediately, residents may not put out fruits, vegetables, salt or other materials for deer on public or private property. The law does not apply to natural vegetation, crops or feeders used for domestic animals or livestock.
Interim Town Manager Matt Efird said police initially will warn violators. However, they’ll eventually have 48 hours to remove illegal food or feeding devices or face a $25 fine.
The board passed the ban Tuesday night in response to concerns about the impact deer are having on private property and public safety. The Orange County Democratic Party’s executive committee had also asked Carrboro and Hillsborough to allow an Urban Archery Program on public and owner-approved private lands.
