Please Don’t Feed or ‘Drone’ the Wildlife, Colorado Warns

Please Don’t Feed or ‘Drone’ the Wildlife, Colorado Warns

Don’t harass wildlife with drones whether sightseeing or hunting, Colorado officials warned Tuesday. It’s against state and federal regulations and penalties can range from $70 to as high as $125,000.

“As people pick up drone use as a hobby, they also need to understand the importance of conservation ethics,” said Brian Dreher, terrestrial section manager with Colorado Parks and Wildlife.

There’s not much difference between a drone and an aerial predator to an animal in the wild, officials said.
