Feeding wildlife is dangerous, causes harm to animals, and is punishable by law. When animals are fed human food/trash it disrupts their ability to cope in nature. They begin to rely on or expect the food/trash and may become destructive, dangerous or ill and could result in the
    end of their life. Respect and keep the wildlife...wild! Please help the wildlife by properly informing your guests on how the effects human food and trash has on Lake Tahoe’s natural environment.
