And that's the migrating geese right??
Maybe the golf course geese are better.
I think that if they actually go in and shoot
them which takes all sorts of special federal
permits since they have to prove that the
geese aren't endangered, that they either
donate the meat to the homeless or destroy it.
I'll have to keep an eye out for articles when
they have the next big fuss about it. The swans
when we were in England back in 84-85 were
a rare sight. Turned out that they were dying
of lead poisoning from eating lead sinkers from
fishing weights.
