And some people think they’re helping out by giving them something to eat. But the fact is feeding wildlife places the animals at risk and puts them on a collision course with humans. The problem of feeding wildlife has become such as issue across the state that the Montana Legislature recently passed a law with penalties for feeding wildlife. The revised state law passed during the 2009 Montana Legislature, adds ungulates (deer, elk, moose, and antelope) and mountain lions to the list of animals that cannot be attracted to an area with any kind of food.
