NORTH WILDWOOD ─ An amendment to the city code will no longer allow the feeding of wild animals on private as well as public property. City council introduced the ordinance July 17. According to City Clerk Scott Jett, concerns for public health encompassed the decision. Jett said the amendment is a “big clean-up” to that portion of the code, first introduced in 1899. A 2008 amendment includes, “All animals that are neither human nor domesticated, including, but not limited to, animals that typically are domesticated, but are homeless or stray animals as well as, by way of illustration and not by way of limitation, pigeons, seagulls, ducks, geese and other waterfowl or birds.” Under the new amendment, within the city limits, feeding wild animals will be prohibited. Second reading and adoption of the amendment will be held Aug. 7.
