Canadian Geese Eaten! Oh No!

I can only hope that I can retire to a place that serves roast goose!

There are geese from Canada and New Jersey is south to them. That’s where they go for the winter. Remember that animals aren’t vegitarians either. I saw a wolf eating some meat on National Geographic Explorer.
Maybe these people can go protest the wolves eating other animals. They won’t care and they might eat the people protesting. All of which is fine with me. Laughable!

Cripes!

Killing Canada Geese is a crown/federal offense in Canada, and is a criminal offense in the US as well.

See: “Migratory Bird Treaty Act (1918)”

I don’t mind hunting, when it is done legally, but this guy seems like he should be one of the patients at his own “residential care facility for dementia patients“.

On the other hand, this reminds me of some pet-loving people being “outraged” when Michael Moore’s movie “Roger & Me” came out. The segement on a woman raising rabbits for sale – pet or meal, your choice – had some vocal opponents to “murdering bunnies”. As if Elmer Fudd was the only guy who ever wanted to eat rabbit.

Canada Geese. GREAT !!!

In fact, they are so great that they named a country after them.

OK, enough of the nice stuff and lets get into the actual true stuff. Canada Geese are scourge and quite a few people would be much happier ONLY seeing them in a picture on the wall. Especially if the picture is in someone else’s home.

Many waterfront parks have been taken over by Canada Geese. Their feces resemble dog feces in both size and texture. And Canada Geese can poop !!! They apparently like the grass grown in parks as it is nutritious. They are very vicious and will attack humans and dogs. Sometimes their concentration is so great that their feces pollute swimming beaches making unusable. They end result is the loss of park space to the “sacred” Canada Goose.

The biggest problem is they are a protected species. I also understand that there are more then 30 varieties of Canada Goose and not all of them tolerate human habitation. And, some tolerate degrees of humans. Some of the human varieties will winter year round in the northern climes. Around humans they have no predators and so have a low death rate and high rate of propagation. Their populations have grown out of control in many areas.

To combat the overpopulation, park management has been forced to become inventive. Since the mature birds cannot be touched, the eggs are painted with oil, which stops the embryos from growing. Or, they are captured and moved to another location. As mentioned earlier, Canada Geese will attack people, so this moving can be hazardous.

As for frying them in oil, I think most fowl is batter baked. They be a part of nature, but so is the Norwegian Rat.

Cook ‘em I say. But pluck and clean ‘em first.

hey guys the birds are cool untill you see young kids chased by geese or your house has a fly problem that is so intolerable you have to move.

I have a problem with their poop.
They congregate on the walking bridge over my fish pond, and leave a pile of turds behind like land mines.
They leave a trail of turds the size of my family dog’s behind, a royal pain to clean up.
The dog has more class!

Wow some people. . . you guys are weird. Birds are cool, I feed them and sometimes they attack me, but hey I have to understand that this is their nature. I pollute the planet and i shit and it goes down some drain and into rivers. I drive an SUV and put greenhouse gases in the air. I will have kids some day adding to the population problem of the world. I think I have the right to not be hated and killed for food by such indignant people such as yourselves.
Do you think I have the right to kill you because your nature conflicts with how I want life to be? You using your computer, or any other appliance, and living on land that I could use for my own benefits wouldn’t be such a problem if i implemented some population control on you. Meh, I say you live even though you are a fat slob who isn’t contributing anything to society.
