Why this petition matters

Started by Lucy Cafiero

Resident Canada Geese are being rounded up each year and euthanized by the thousands. From May until August of each year Canada geese will nest, lay eggs, and raise their young in the ponds in our neighborhoods. Once Canada geese start to molt, they are unable to fly. This is when they are rounded up, put in cages, and euthanized. We are being told these Canada geese are being relocated. This is false. It is just a feel good campaign so they do not get any push back from the area residents.

Our objectives are to manage resident Canada geese through population stabilization, habitat modification, and site aversion.

Create a model program that is sustainable, economic, effective and non controversial which engages the whole community in a coordinated, cooperative effort.

Educate the public on the history of Resident Canada geese, their unique behavior and why feeding geese and other wildlife is bad for everyone involved.

Resident Canada geese are different from migrating geese. Resident geese must nest in the area where they are born, this is the reason they cannot be relocated.

If we do not take charge, the Canada geese may become extinct as they almost did back in the 1960's.
