Axios Des Moines: A proposed wildlife feeding ban in Des Moines now only includes waterfowl and deer after the City Council reversed course on a far more expansive plan Monday night. Squirrels, feral cats, raccoons and any animal “not normally domesticated” in Iowa were included in the original proposal. Fines up to $850 were possible. The City Council voted unanimously Monday to narrow the ban, and approved the first of three readings of the ordinance.
