And it could be so easy!

[Lee St.Clair]

Ok you Michiganders....In the Irish Hills (I am aware of it being done at Loch Erin)there is a 'group' that collects the canadian geese in the spring and relocates them. They also go around breaking all the eggs that have already been laid.
How dare these geese live, nest, and leave their excrements on these fine lawns?
It makes my heart cry as these are 1 of the few animals that mate for life. (I find myself counting adult geese when I see them and hope is an even number.) They take responsibility for their 'choices'. Something man seems unable to do. Seems man wants to be the 'control' but not the responsibility for that 'control'.
God created man superior to all living things here on earth. Animals were placed here for us to 'use', not abuse. I do believe our superiority has been called into question time and again.
I know...I am preaching to the choir. smiles. Am getting off my soap box now....and feel better. I think...lol. Thank you all for listening(or reading....)
Blessings, Lee

But the netting and relocating- not a viable plan, as geese have, same as homing pigeons, a built in radar that brings them back to their home site, a GPS of the "Goosin' World" I guess-

I'm a sponsor member of DU- part of the "Catch-22" spin of our efforts and dinero since 1937 is- we now have Canadian geese in areas where twenty years ago- if you saw one all season, it was memorable, whether you shot it or not-

Some groups have found that instead of destroying the eggs (crows, foxes, coyotes, etc do that jon quite well) spraying the eggs with WD-40 is more "humane" than stomping them into a "Oblivion Omelette"

I am also a die-hard golfer, and nothing plugs up the spikes on my Foot-Joys more than green goose poop- balance of Nature I guess
