I think one of the mainreasons they banned feeding deer herein NY was because of the numbers of deer located in Suburban areas. I have seen people feeding the deer in nearby parks all kinds of crap including Fruit Loops, Oranges, Candy, etc.etc.etc. These deer are not in any way afraid of humans and actually come toward you if you walk in the park. It's way out of hand. I have been for this type of ban for years. Now if you add in the possibity CWD to these deer, I believe that it would spread badly.
