Canada Goose cull

[Bobbie Ireland]

I'd be really interested in hearing what the general thinking is on this.

Seems lots of people hate the C goose! I think they are beautiful but that's my opinion. Granted, they are every where but so are other birds. I can see, removing the eggs, before anything forms but to just cull them, gas them, shoot them, sorry...no way. IDK, it's a hard call with the geese.

I say let nature take it's course! Humans interfere with the natural cycle of life too much. It's going to come back to bite us one day. Just my opinion.

hmm I just read the articles on coyotes and canada geese. Coyote's eat goose eggs. So we need coyotes in the park. win win.

But gassing the geese is wrong. They did a study on the feathers of the geese that were sucked into those engines. They were migratory geese not of the local population. So this culling isn't helping the problem at all. Its lack of habitat away from the airports that is the problem. Personally I think there are too many planes flying. Maybe we should cull the big silver birds.
