Althouse: "When they gas the young ones, they literally cry out and squawk for their parents. The adult geese are slaughtered."

June 17, 2018

"When they gas the young ones, they literally cry out and squawk for their parents. The adult geese are slaughtered."

"It’s horrific. When they call it a goose roundup it doesn’t sound so bad. But what they are doing is cruel and unnecessary.... I get it. People who use the parks don’t want goose poop everywhere. But I don’t think those people are saying, ‘Hey. Let’s kill the geese.' We can deal with the problems geese create this year and then take more preventive steps next year to ensure no geese have to be killed. My organization is willing to help out. I’m confident lots of other people will, too. I just want to do the right thing."

Said Mary Telfer, executive director of Alliance for Animals, quoted in "Madison moving forward with annual geese kill/Goslings found in city parks are gassed; adults are slaughtered" (Isthmus).

Damn right!

But I don’t think those people are saying, ‘Hey. Let’s kill the geese,’

I suspect that they are.

The only nonlethal alternative I've ever seen is to turn loose some border collies to chase the geese off, and do it daily until the geese decide to go elsewhere on their own. But some goslings will be left behind and have to be euthanized anyway (if the collies don't kill them first).; 6/17/18, 2:55 PM

A steady population means 28 of them fall by the wayside There will always be many, many animals who will be "euthanized" naturally--by starvation, disease, cold, predators.

Human parks and lawns mess with nature and cause population explosions of geese. Killing the excess is making things more natural. What does the Alliance for Animals have against nature?

Seriously, the idea that every creature born--or hatched--should survive is a very human one that nature flouts all the time.; 6/17/18, 3:07 PM

Yes, there is. Basically get rid of any bodies of water on your property and the geese will leave. Of course, that could get a whole other group of enviro-whackos worked up and maybe start an enviro-whacko civil war.

6/17/18, 3:10 PM

Are you speaking from your own personal experience? My understanding is that the flesh of Canada geese is rank, presumably because of their diet. The goose that one gets at the market is not a wild Canada goose.

I wonder about a world where culling is necessary.

Culling is totally unnecessary. The geese will absolutely die one way or another. In whatever misery of predation, disease or hunger, plus their possible negative effects on other wildlife. But at least our hands will be clean, I suppose.; 6/17/18, 4:44 PM
Bruce Hayden said...: Well, the goose couples are now showing up with their families of micro-geese. Soon to be mini-geese, or goose Pate, depending on how well they dodge traffic on the highway. The little ones are hard to see on the road, but inevitably, they have their parents looking out for them. So, if you see a pair of geese in the middle of the highway, figure that they are shepherding their flock across, because normally they just fly off, and rarely play chicken with the cars and trucks, like some other species. Somehow, they don’t seem as bad in NW MT, as when I lived in W NV, or by Fort Collins, in CO. Wonder if it is mabe because we have so many species of predators around. Even saw a fox by the House last week. But also have coyotes, and all the bigger ones (except that brown bear, wolves, and mtn lions don’t usually come in that close). The attrition of the young geese seems quite a bit higher than the average mentioned in the article.; 6/17/18, 4:44 PM

rhhardin said...: Immanuel Kant proposed a distinction between human beings and animals at the opening of a longish essay on education. He said that baby animals, unlike baby humans, don't cry, because if they did, some wolf or wild animal would get them. But they do cry, of course, and quite often a wolf or even a wild animal does get them, and I do not bring this up to be disrespectful of the mighty dead, but to suggest that most of the time when a philosopher starts a discussion by distinguishing between people and animals, it is prudent to skip that part.

A philosopher's mistakes about animals are like anyone's mistakes about animals, of no real significance unless something follows from them, but when something does follow from them it is wise to watch carefully, because mistakes with things following from them can be tricky guides.

I like to think letting bow hunters have their way once a week would do a world of good. Even though I have a small herd of chickens, I like to think the geese would leave a space where the humans are regularly killing them.

In Oregon we spend millions of dollars every year to help the salmon. I have been a volunteer for over ten years working on my local watershed to help all the flora and fauna.

There are about 100 California sea lions hanging around the Bonneville Dam and Willamette Falls. They eat a significant number of salmon waiting by the fish ladders. After trying relocation, the state has the authority to shoot them at Bonneville and are looking for federal authority to do the same at the falls.

But when they shoot them at Bonneville, they trap them and shoot them behind the barn, so to speak. The rest of them don't know that Joe hasn't gone back to Malibu. WTF?

I don't really know about geese, but I'm sure the mammals are smart enough to know when the humans are going postal on them. If not, just shoot them all. Maybe this 100 are the only ones that know about the Columbia River.; 6/17/18, 5:52 PM

Canadas are not everyone's favorite flavor, but they are a gift from god to the nearby Ojibwa tribe. Geese foul the bodies of water they take over. They foul the parklands they take over. Goose shit can contain many harmful pathogens for the kiddies to play in after it dries. They are aggressive towards other waterfowl, often driving local ducks off. Geese return to their birthing place to birth the next generation. The only cost effective alternative to hunting is to raid the nest and shake the eggs vigorously in springtime.
