Among the many disturbing, poorly researched and misleading articles about Canada geese is this one published a few days ago from Boston:
I sent an email to the author and asked who was playing golf in the middle of winter that the geese would pose such a problem?
He responded that it had not occurred to him to ask that question.
Nor did it apparently occur to the journalist to inquire what differentiates a "resident" goose from a "migratory" goose and when migratory geese actually migrate?
Many, if not in fact, most Canada geese currently present in the North East can be presumed to be migratory geese who would leave the location with the first signs of spring.
But, those defending the slaughter of migratory geese on a golf course in the beginning of February contend they are all "resident" geese and no one, including so-called reporters questions that.
The article is in fact, filled with misleading propaganda and simply appears as a mouthpiece for killing.
One guesses that if trigger-happy shooters weren't given geese to blow away, they would be holding squirrel or pigeon shoots in this town.

It's sad that communities and golf courses would resort to violence when there are so many humane and ecologically friendly alternatives to killing. Nature Sweep is humane, inexpensive and ecologically friendly, converting goose feces into fertilizer. Watch this video:
