Practice Has Been Controversial Since It Was Introduced In 1999
...moreEarlier this summer, Madison began its annual practice of culling — selectively reducing the population — Canadian geese to fight overpopulation, and it’s far from the only community to do so.
About 30 to 40 communities around the state participate each year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. Last year, over 2,500 Canadian geese were culled in Wisconsin, according to state records. In 2016, the population stood at over 129,000, compared to just over 11,000 in 1986.
The practice has been controversial since it started on a national scale in 1999...
Ken Notes: I have two Australian Cattle Dogs that will keep them off your lawn. And on a serious note when a Neenah Mayor in the past we did have an owner who we let run his dogs in our parks prior to 8 am and it dramatically reduced the population. Menasha was not happy because that is where they went!!!
