  1. Canada geese were not thought to be extinct in 1962. The Giant Canada goose subspecies was, not the entire species.

    Also, modern factory farming practices are why H5N1 is out of control. Culling wildlife to stop avian flu is short-sighted and immoral.

  3. Oh my, they're eating the geese. Humans plant way too much grass, which wastes fuel, causes noise and air pollution, and contributes to fertilizer runoff. We need to learn to stop creating problems for ourselves.

  4. I live near Lake Ontario, and our local High School mascot is the 'Wildcat', which we have almost none of and which I hate.
    My proposal is we rename all our teams the "Galloping Geese", of which we have many.
    So far, no one else has taken up my idea…..😂

  5. The problem with geese is a human one. We make grassy lawns that they love to graze and then defecate on. Get red of that lawn idiocy and your relationship with geese changes. The threat is to wildlife from domestic flocks and herd of animal, not the other way around. The problem with geese is not their problem.
