The person behind the ordinance used to work for Alaska Fish & Game. While he worked for Fish & Game, he backed the Eagle feeding as something that was beneficial to the Eagles. Once he retired from Fish & Game, he started a petting farm with large birds. Since he started the petting farm, he has been against the Eagle feeding as something bad, but it is ok for him to keep Sandhill Cranes in captivity and feed them. I think his motive is jealousy and greed as Jeanne Keane has reached international fame for her Eagle feeding and photographers photograph the Eagles for free instead of paying him a fee to photograph his birds. Nobody ever heard of Homer outside of Alaska until Newsweek did an article about Jeanne Keane and her Eagle feeding. I think the long term effects of this ordinance will hurt Homer's economy as the photographers will go elsewhere to photograph the Eagles once the feeding stops. Homer's economy consists of Government jobs , tourism and fishing industry. In the winter there is not much going on except the tourism created by the Eagle feeding. I think most photographers will start going back to Haines for the photography of Eagles. Now a lot of what I have said is here conjecture on my part and my opinion and there will be people who disagree with me. Only time will tell what will happen. What is known to be fact is that the concentration of Eagles in Homer in the winter is caused by Jeanne Keane feeding of the Eagles. It is common (wisdom?) that once the feeding of the Eagles stops, the Eagles will stop coming to Homer. They come from as far away as Kodiak.
