Feeding Deer

Did you know this is in contravention of the City of Kimberley Deer Feeding Bylaw No. 2296, 2006? Fines up to $500 can be issued to anyone caught feeding deer. Deer are often left foods that are unhealthy for their diets. This causes harm to the deer and leads to digestive upset, and potentially even death.
