I have little ability to comment on this story, brought to my attention by a commenter on my last post. Since I was away, I haven't been in the park, where I see the geese. The biggest shame and hurt is that these animals are simply dumped in a landfill. I know why the 'authorities' didn't announce the roundup -because they would've met much resistance. We've been living with resident geese in the metro area for 20 or 30 years. When I was a kid, they were only passing through. Is it right? I don't know. Our complicated human experience.
The least they could have done was make available local geese for roasting and confit-ing. What a waste.
ReplyDeleteDo I got to hell for saying that?
I don't know, either.
They worded the article so badly that it is unclear, but it sounds like they donated the breast meat before disposing of the carcasses.
ReplyDeleteI didn't catch that they donated anything. I'll have to look again.
ReplyDeleteI'll leave innocence to the innocent and extermination to progress.
