Tossing food scraps out for wildlife like deer or bears isn't a big deal and won't do much harm, right? New York State says that way of thinking is very wrong!

For the most part (there are some exceptions) it's okay to help abandoned baby wildlife that you find in your yard, but keeping them is a big no-no in New York.
