Anderson has no standalone wildlife-feeding ban, but Sec. 91.01 defines 'harboring' so that feeding an animal for three consecutive days presumes you harbor it. Keeping any wild animal as a pet is prohibited under Sec. 91.63, so sustained feeding of wildlife carries legal risk.
Chapter 91 does not have a section titled wildlife feeding. However, the 'Harboring' definition in Sec. 91.01 states that permitting an animal to habitually remain, lodge, or be fed on premises you control counts as harboring, and an animal is presumed harbored if it is fed or sheltered for three consecutive days. Because Sec. 91.63 makes it unlawful to keep any wild animal as a pet, routinely feeding wildlife until you are deemed its harborer can put you on the wrong side of the wild-animal prohibition. Feeding that draws nuisance animals may also trigger the public-nuisance provisions of Sec. 91.01 (molesting passersby, damaging property).
No dedicated feeding penalty exists. Being deemed the harborer of a prohibited wild animal, or creating a public nuisance through feeding, is enforced by the Senior Humane Officer; general violations are fined up to $500 per day under Sec. 91.999.
