    The thing that actually needs to happen here is make hunting geese legal.

    They are trash birds. And there are too many of them.

      First Nations eat them birds. I’ve heard they’re fine eating. Of course, it depends where you hunt them. I met a guy who said they’d string a net over a beach at dawn or dusk during migration. He spoke highly of the event.

      Build a wall on the northern border and have the geese pay for it?

        OK, here me out: an Iron Dome but instead of keeping missiles out it keeps geese out.

          Sounds potentially messy if we don’t scale it down. Would feat the purpose for me. The actual geese I am fine with, it’s the insane amount of geese dumpage that I do not approve of.

      Canada Geese are protected by the migratory birds act between Canada, US and Mexico. The only thing communities can legally do is take the eggs so they don’t hatch.

        And at this point, that act should be amended. The Geese are fine. There’s no reason to protect them now.

          It has more to do with the fact that they are migratory birds. The egg thing is a carve out specifically for them due to their shittiness and that’s literal.
