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.
Well I wish they’d migrate once in a while, because they’re around here all year. They’re also mean if you happen to walk by one and they enjoy blocking traffic.
I fucking hate geese.
Oh, I agree. I have far too many memories of being chased around parks as a child in Regina by them. I’m not saying they are wonderful creatures, rather that their legal protections limit what we can actually do about them.
Can I at least deport them? This is Indiana, not Saskatchewan.
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.
