You better watch out

If you are one of those who leave milk and cookies out for Santa on Christmas Eve, don’t make the mistake of leaving a carrot for his reindeer. At least not if you live in Fort Thomas.

Fort Thomas City Council voted Monday to make feeding deer illegal in that city and may soon allow bow hunting of the animals on private property.

I’m sure the council has nothing against Christmas, or the jolly old elf and his flying coursers. It’s just that Fort Thomas is a residential community and the deer population just keeps growing and growing, causing numerous car crashes and damage to landscaping.

So its $100 for the first offense, $250 for a second and $500 for a third and more. That could add up to $3,350 for all eight hitched to Santa’s sleigh. $3,850 if you include a nibble for Rudolph.
