ARE THEY SQUIRRELLY?
Long Branch officials want to make feeding wildlife on public AND private lands illegal.
They define wildlife as "all animals that are neither human nor domesticated," which includes stray cats and those pretty little birdies like the state goldfinch.
While the hundreds of backyard bird-watchers might be a bit put off when they're arrested by the bird-feeder police, I think officials should leave out the "neither
human nor domesticated" part.
I know I've fed at least one undomesticated "human" animal who should be illegal.
