I read something quite sad today - authorities over a city park in Mobile, Canada have recently euthanized 200 geese. Apparently the park had become overrun with geese and they could see no other solution to the problem of the over-population of the area by geese. People feed the geese and ducks in the park, and the resultant faecal problem, as one can imagine, was out of hand.
As geese are homing creatures, they would simply have returned to the park if an attempt had been made to relocate them. There are still 100 geese and 40 ducks left in the park, so one wonders how long if will be before this exercise has to be repeated.......
