    I never imagined this was a thing, but I guess it makes some sense if you have thousands of birds in an area. I used to work for a small town Missouri parks department, and when people complained about all the goose shit on the running paths we were encouraged to chase them off with our truck, but that’s about it.

    I just read today about something called “addling” where they cover the goose eggs with corn oil, which keeps embryos from developing. It would be an alternative to euthanizing them.

      When I was cummins up you’d be lucky to even have Wisconsin gooses. Now we got so manies you wanna start killing their babies? Must be fuckin nice.

      You got a problem with Wisconsin gooses? You got a problem with me, and I suggest you let that one marinate.
