| | AWF - Baiting Bill |
 | | Recent epidemiological research suggests that baiting and feeding of deer enabled the TB outbreak in Michigan to persist and spread and that declines in TB prevalence were associated with a ban on baiting and feeding (O'Brien et al 2002). |
 | | Clark et al., (1996) warned that increased nutrition of predators through supplemental feeding could lead to increased productivity, survival and, ultimately, increased populations of predators in the habitat. |
