      IF you don't live in a area with ponds and lakes you don't realize the damage created by goose poop it is amazing just how much one goose creates in a day, it builds up on sidewalks and pollutes ponds, lakes and golf courses causeing excessive weed and algae growth. Not to mention the aggressiveness towards humans, it's time to control the population.

    Wow! We have Canadian geese that stop over on their migration twice a year, coming and going, northern middle Tennessee....rural. Their numbers have decreased significantly in the past 10 years since we've been here.
    They are magnificent creatures....I always pray for them going overhead....they are on a mission, and work together beautifully, taking turns to be the lead goose in the formation and honking each other along.
    I have been thinking that many get taken out in their travels with all the crazy weather events around the planet.....
    Sure hate to learn that they are being euthanized in large numbers.....

    I wish our city in Colorado would get rid of the Canadian Geese here. In the winter they come into towns and leave their feces all over the sidewalks and in our parks. It's disgusting. I'm afraid of an e coli outbreak here. Many years ago some animal lovers thought it was a good idea to raise baby geese here and they assumed they would fly south for the winter and then come back in the summer but oh no they didn't go south because they were unnaturally raised here. They can scratch thru the snow here enough to get food.
