There has been a bit of a kerfuffle about this incident which took place in Walpole Park last week. I'm not a fan of contracted out enforcement but I believe in this case the right thing has been done. Allegedly the woman dumped a bag of bread on the grass and was spotted by the Kingdom enforcement officers and given a £150 fine. Feeding ducks isn't good for them as bread isn't a part of their natural diet. Discarded bread attracts rats and other vermin. There are plenty of signs up telling you not to feed the birds. While I think the fine is excessive for the offense and hope that leeway would be given by the enforcement officers to families with small children feeding the birds, it is good that this sort of activity is being discouraged. |
