No Public Comment on Buffalo’s Wildlife Ordinance at Second Reading

The Buffalo City Council passed Ordinance No. 1413, which amends city code under offenses concerning contact with wildlife within the city limits on second reading.

No public comment was offered on the Ordinance.

Mayor Shane Schrader, in an earlier interview, explained that the Ordinance has become necessary due to complaints concerning the feeding of wild turkeys in the city limits, which has caused a nuisance and created a rise in avian flu cases as well as possible health dangers to other animals such as house pets from the birds’ droppings.

The Ordinance will have a third and final reading at the next city council meeting scheduled for Tuesday, February 21.
