Common councillor Bill Farren had suggested a by-law prohibiting people from feeding the deer; however, common councillor Shirley McAlary points out there's no way to enforce that kind of law, since Animal Control doesn't even deal with cats anymore, let alone deer.
Mayor Mel Norton says ultimately it's the responsibilty of the citizenry to use common sense and not entice deer to residential areas where they can get hit by cars and spread Lyme-carrying deer ticks.
