Pomona does not have a specific wildlife feeding ordinance. Nuisance conditions from wildlife attractants may be enforced under general nuisance provisions of the municipal code. Inland Valley Humane Society handles wildlife complaints.
Pomona may prohibit intentional feeding of wild animals to prevent habituation and nuisance wildlife issues. Fed wildlife lose their natural fear of humans, creating dangerous encounters. Common targets of feeding bans include deer, coyotes, bears, alligators, and feral cats (colony management may have separate rules). Bird feeders may be regulated in areas with bear activity. Unsecured trash and pet food left outdoors can constitute unintentional feeding. State wildlife agencies provide guidance on human-wildlife conflict management.
Warnings for first offense. Fines typically $50 to $500. Repeat violations may result in misdemeanor charges in some jurisdictions.
