Officials in Foster City, California ruffled the feathers of animal rights activists with their plan to kill hundreds of geese after failing to reduce the mess of their droppings through other measures.

Yuk. Doesn’t vagrant drug user poor pose dangers too?

[fruser1]

Why don’t they just ban it?

Thanks! +1

I’m sure it does. I wasn’t trying to make the case that goose crap is worse than human feces. The homeless, etc, may not be as efficient at covering acreages though.

That article left out cryptosporidium which is worse than everything it did mention.

I forgot the coyotes. Lots of tasty little pets disappear all the time around us.

Those aren’t wild geese. You ought to go try one.

It’s an education problem. They have to organize a goose school and teach them how to clean up their poop.

My club likes the free fertilizer poop from geese.
They won’t get rid of them.

Wonder how smoked goose would taste? Would love to try it out.

Not any more. Getting shot at in SE Asia sort of sanded the shine off hunting.

Took a deer in Southern Illinois, and would prowl cornfields for ring neck pheasant, when I was a teenager.

Does sniping rats at the dump count?

“I am thinking of Lake Merritt, Oakland.”

Overrun.

Heather Farms in Walnut Creek. Same.

Rats with feathers. Kill them all!

Sure it counts..!!
