Dear :
I was very upset to learn that you are using lethal population control methods for Canadian Geese.
Apparently the primary concern about your goose
population has to do with unsightly and irritating
droppings. Recent studies indicate that the droppings
are not a serious threat to human health. The roundup
and slaughter approach, aside from being inhumane, is
contradictory to policies of sound wildlife
management. Killing off an area's resident geese only
clears the way for other geese to come in and exploit
the vacant niche.
Non-lethal approaches, including egg addling, hazing
with dogs, and scare devices have proven to be
effective control methods in other states such as
Virginia and Maryland. Please explore these non-lethal
means for controlling your goose population.
Thank you for time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Back
