Proposed Plan Would Limit Orlando Homeless Feedings
In Yellowstone, as well as other national and state parks, there are numerous signs proclaiming, "Do not feed the bears." Why? Well, the bears get lazy and quit looking for food. They end up hanging around the main roads and gathering place because there are a bunch of tourist with tasty treats.
Or, in a pinch, there are a bunch of tasty tourist.
It appears that Orlando is having a similar problem with their homeless population, and it seems that Orlando is taking there cue from the park system by instituting a, "Do not feed the homeless" policy.
Are they going to issue tickets and impose fines for feeding the homeless?
If you have particularly insistent or obnoxious homeless people, will they be shot with tranquillizer darts and relocated?
Wait a minute! That could add a whole new spin on the tourist industry! I can see guided tours where the rich are riding in the back of one of those safari trucks, driving through the parts of town where the homeless hang out, tranquillizer gun laid across the roof of the cab.
For an extra cost, you could use a helicopter!
What a way to wrap up a weekend at Disney.
