Almost agree with you, "Man, the world is full of stupid" (people)

You don't know that!

euthanized: Killed, say the word. All things want to live. All things die hard. There is no glamorous way to die or to be killed. No sugar coating will change that. All predatory animals kill. Man is a predetory animal, top of the heap I might add. Revere what you have killed but admit what you have killed. Man's very presence on this planet results in the death of other living things, hide behind denial and fancey words if you may but dead is dead in any term.

Why euthenize them? You could chop their heads off, strip the feathers off and bake them. Yum.

Farmers arent the only industry dependant on water you know....
The farmers are pissed off, but so are the salmon fisherman who have had their fishing season canceled again because the salmon have declined to the point of endangerment due to the loss of smelt.
The smelt fish are like the plankton, we don't eat them, but we depend on them for our survival as they are at the bottom of the food chain. Without the bottom of the food chain protected, we don't eat either.

hank, if I knew what you meant I'd respond. If you're asking whether I'm up for slaughtering every goose in the country, the answer is "No."

I live in the middle of the biggest flyway in the United States. Short of killing it, you CAN'T stop a bird from going where it wants to. Simple biology.

If they were going to kill the geese, the Very least they could have done was to kill them in a way that people could eat them, and they wouldn't have gone to waste (like many others have said here). If everyone here can see that, why couldn't the "officials"? Hopefully they'll have the brains to not have the remaining geese they intend to kill, go to waste.

Just curious. Did you include yourself in the second comment?
