Crunch Time.
The Department of Environmental Protection will be issuing a press release sometime within the next week announcing the 2012 Canada goose roundups to be conducted by USDA Wildlife Services. Please read this informative article published today from The Brooklyn Paper for more information.
Once the DEP press release is out, the actual roundups and exterminations can begin as soon as the following day (and in one case did a couple of years ago). Thus, the goose roundups can begin as early as next week and likely will.
If you have not already signed on to the NYC GooseWatch Facebook page, please do so now.
There will be a rally in front of Mayor Bloomberg's mansion next Wednesday, the 27th of June at 6 PM to protest the goose slaughters. Location is 79th Street in Manhattan between Madison and Fifth Avenues. (near Central Park.) We need as many people as possible to attend and stand up to defend the wildlife in our city parks from invasion and extermination by federal authority. Mayor Bloomberg has signed onto and feverently defends the goose slaughters. Following the gassings of 368 geese and goslings from Prospect Park in 20010, our "wise" Mayor proclaimed, "They just go to sleep and have nice dreams."
For more on the latest campaigns and efforts from GooseWatch, please read their latest news alert:
Please become part of the active efforts to document and bring the clandestine goose roundups and killings that have been plaguing New York City for almost a decade to the forefront of public and media attention.
It is only an informed, enlightened and involved public that can eventually elicit enough pressure and protest to bring these archaic and brutal wildlife roundups and killings to an end and relegate them to the dark ages of shameful human history. -- PCA
