Feeding rules

I am not sure if I have mentioned in the past there is actually one downside to living in the city of Anchorage - in the great state of Alaska.

You can’t feed the wildlife.

It is against the law.

There are special rules about trash, fines if bears are caught eating your trash, etc., etc. And you don’t what to dangle carrots for moose and then run into your kitchen when you run out as the moose might follow you into the kitchen – not understanding the whole “moose don’t belong in houses” rule.

However, you can set pumpkins out for Halloween decorations.

See this example (or if Alaska Daily News changed their naming convention), this example.

Ours has been out since October 1.

Originally the book "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" was called "If You Give a Moose a Carrot."

True story.

Would I lie?
