There are better ways of
dealing with this, however the easiest is the option to kill
these creatures? Why not take the initiative and collect the
damn poop for fertilizer. That's what they do with chicken
poop, don't they? It can easily be collected as the grass is
mowed. They just need a capture option on the mower and please
don't tell me that does not exist! How do they remove garbage
from the sand normally to ensure the lake is tidy? People never
clean up after themselves properly. I cannot believe they do
not have measures that are routinely used to make sure the lake
stays free of debris.
Letting your child sit and eat sand off of a beach is not exactly sanitary even without geese being present.
This is a blatant disregard for life, plain and simple. There
are no excuses that would adequately justify this action.
Concerns
for public safety is simply an excuse. These animals are
harmless and when gassing them and dumping their bodies in a
landfill is easier than mowing the damn grass there is
something very wrong!
What the hell is wrong with people?

Concerns
of goose poop and harm to the environment at Lake Sammamish State Park
prompted wildlife officials to capture and kill 90 geese.
“You’ve got to watch where you’re walking,” said Anthony Lammers, a park visitor.
Feces from the bird carry harmful bacteria like E.Coli and Salmonella.
Animal advocates are disgusted and are calling on state park leaders to come up with humane alternatives.
“They’re just trying to protect their babies and exist just like we are,” said Diane Weinstein, who lives near the park.
According
to state officials, there were about 300 geese in the park this spring,
creating a problem for the environment and the people.
“Getting bit in the butt is one thing but catch it in the front, you’re toast,” said Dutch Jackson, a park visitor.
