Laptop Battery Thank you for informing readers about the increased slaughter of Canada geese planned for New Jersey. Some readers have contacted the Animal Protection Institute asking how to eliminate the killing instead ("Trap-and-kill goose permits grow popular, May 17).
If Canada geese simply were a nuisance, killing them might seem a bit much. growing number of geese in New Jersey pose health risks, which is why the U.S. Division of Fish and Wildlife Service's decision to increase the number of geese to be rounded up and killed is a sound one.
Thinkpad Describing an activity as problem-solving does not indicate it is humane or even acceptable. Massacres of human beings are immoral even when perpetrators claim they will solve much worse problems than geese can possibly cause.
The problem has become so bad in New Jersey that the U.S. Division of Fish, Game and Wildlife will allow some 11, 000 of the supposedly migratory birds to be killed by farmers and hunters. The problem is they like our state so much, they don't ever want to leave. The population of geese considered permanent residents has tripled in the past 10 years. How' ''Nearly 85, 000 geese can't be wrong. Visit New Jersey.''
Microsoft In the same unsavory tradition, goose-kill promoters make mountains out of goose droppings, which do not hurt anyone who practices basic hygiene.
The offense is further compounded by the way in which the dead geese were handled. If it was necessary to kill any geese, the meat should at least have been donated to a food bank. Canada geese are good eating. Instead, the carcasses were left to rot in the "boneyard" area of the wildlife refuge.
Laptop Computers In all of the hype about the birds presence and slaughter, we hear little of the basic reasons for large population increases. You know, those "attractive, "natural landscape designs established when forests, meadows, and farms are destroyed to set up office parks, apartment complexes, malls, hotels, educational institutions, and other facilities?

Laptop Computer A pond or lake edged by non-native, ecologically unsound turf grass with nothing preventing geese from walking into the water from grassy areas?
About two years ago I spoke to a young farmer who had given up and said he could not farm in this area because of goose damage to his crops. I hope Saxton and the state Department of Fish and Wildlife use the strongest measures possible. rights lady lecture to us that we should get away from the killing mentality so we can be civilized. Someone suggested that perhaps those who are so concerned about the geese might volunteer to clean up the mess.
Desktop Computer Geese love those landscapes. Thats where they thrive and reproduce. If you dont want particular animals around, dont do everything likely to attract them. And please dont deprive them of their lives for accepting the invitation or for hatching and learning how to be geese where you invited their parents or grandparents.
Notebooks The waste of land that invites Canada geese is integral to the sprawl that so burdens our species. It increases conflicts with other wildlife, too.
Lenovo Treating all animals humanely is an obligation whether we use land appropriately or not, but we will do better when our habitat is shaped by land use that takes wildlife into account as well as humans.
