[QUOTE="Fly Carpin, post: 240823, member: 1187"] There are dozens of peer reviewed research projects that have looked at the effects of concentrating wildlife with bait or supplemental feeding. Here's a very brief summary from a paper out of the Dept. of Animal and Poultry Science & Indigenous Land Management, University of Saskatchewan. Providing food to wildlife through supplemental feeding or baiting has great potential to negatively impact species health and represents a non-natural arena for disease transmission and preservation. Ultimately, this undermines the initial purpose of feeding practices and represents a serious risk to the maintenance of biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, human health, and livestock production. If you'd like to see their synthesis of data: Sorenson, A., F.M. van Beest, and R.K. Brook. 2013.
