I don't agree that he should have been in trouble for it. But there's a pond about 2 miles from my house where geese live for most of the year. My mother and I love to watch them as we're driving by, and we have to stop at the intersection right next to it. If people are having a problem, why not just MOVE them? No need to deal with them using lethal means.

That being said, it is sort of stupid for there to be a FEDERAL law. I guess it's the environmentalists.

"...why not just MOVE them?.."

This may have escaped you, but GEESE HAVE WINGS...and excellent eyesight. You might move them, but unless you cut off the ends of their wings, or blind them, they'll just fly back to where they were before they were moved.

Geese, for the most part, are like salmon. They return to nest where they were born, and don't abandon the spot unless they are incessantly harrassed (or killed and eaten).
