Murder most fowl?

[Nutkins]

I've got to get this off my chest and seeing as my local MP is a shower of sh!t, you lot will be caught in the draft as I vent my spleen.

I work in an office, in a block, on a college campus. Okay, let's not be secretive about these Fuc#ers, they're called CEME and have a huge funding by Ford. I get an email from the management of our office block asking for volunteers to help collect two adult geese and four goslings to take to a sanctuary.
When I enquire as to why they are being removed, I was told that CEME have license to shoot them and that they had used this license to effect last year to kill another family of geese.

The only crime committed by these birds was to crap on the foot paths creating the POSSIBILTY of people slipping over. Well, open your f#cking eyes then!

So, I ask why the RSPB didn't come and collect them. I was told they weren't interested because they are Canadian geese and not native to this country.

Basta#ds!

So, for anyone who doesn't have British passport and visits this campus ... beware.

Good on you for publicising this.If the MP don't want to know how about the local paper?You could embarass the lot of them in one hit there.

[Nutkins]

That's a very good idea. Thanks.

Geese are a damn nuisance, vicious things and yes they make an awful mess. You volunteering to clean it up?;) Would you be so irritated if it was pigeons?

[ASM-Forever]

Taste pretty good though, the geese themselves...not their faeces :p

I'm with you. Collect the geese, and eat 'em!

What about rats too? They're commonly poisoned. Personally, I'd prefer to be shot rather than poisoned.

rats are poisoned with sorexier cr or warfarin which is an anticoagulant so when they fight each other they bleed to death its not like slug pellets not that im saying its ok to kill if its humane

Canadian Geese are a pest. They eat so much and are so aggressive to toerh birds that they starve to death, so bullies in the bird world.

I can see you point 100% Nutkins, and really dont agree with them being shot, but they are a nusance to otehr wildlife. Would be good if they could get re-homed.

At my place of employment we have several hundred geese that are forever fouling walkways (health HAZARD not just a nuisance) & on odd occasions attacking members of staff.

As soon as is permissible by law there will be a cull (by shooting) - much as I dislike the idea - it is the only practical solution.:(

Canadian Geese are vermin! Simple as that! They are a major threat to the habitats that they have invaded and, just like Grey Squirrels, need to be totally erradicated from the British Isles!
