What a waste - those birds should've been eaten. They should open up a limited goose hunt.

I agree on the hunt...

Gasing birds isn't the way to do it....

A hunt would not be practical. These geese are at busy parks and beaches. Way too many people around. There was a suggestion to give the gassed geese to a food bank for distribution to the needy. I'm not sure what came of that.

"What a waste - those birds should've been eaten."

Agreed. I think I remember reading the meat was offered to the shelters and food banks. The offers were rejected because of the lack of a USDA inspection protocol.

Can't have the needy eating non-goobernint certfied, (but safe), food, no way!

geese are probably not that great to eat. i once tasted a swan -just out of curiosity-, and i felt nauseous a few minutes afterward. imagine Canada geese fit the same category. there are some animals whose meat you don't want to eat -like crows (hence the expression), sharks, lions, the list goes on... trust me on this -you don't want to eat them.
