Stop Wildlife “Services” From Killing Canada Geese in the Puget Sound
Action Alert from All-Creatures.org

Exposing

Peace for Geese Project
July 2014
ACTION
Many humane solutions can be utilized to mitigate conflicts with geese in
urban areas. Unfortunately USDA Wildlife Services has been lethally removing
Canada Geese from the Puget Sound area for 13 years under an interlocal
agreement between several cities and entities within the region.
The geese are being rounded up in our parks and gassed to death or shot on Lake Washington, as well as elsewhere. In 2013, nearly 1,200 geese were killed by Wildlife Services in just King County alone.

USDA Wildlife Services has been lethally removing Canada Geese from the Puget Sound area for 13 years under an interlocal agreement between several cities and entities within the region. The geese are being rounded up in our parks and gassed to death or shot on Lake Washington, as well as elsewhere. In 2013, nearly 1200 were killed by Wildlife Services in just King County alone.
Many humane solutions can be utilized to mitigate conflicts with geese in urban areas. These include reduction of populations through egg addling, use of OvoControl-G (a proven oral birth control method for geese), and sterilization. Various other measures to reduce conflicts include: landscape modifications, goose deterrent products and control techniques, automated devices to clean up goose droppings, and education and public outreach on the need to stop feeding waterfowl in our parks.
The members of the 2014 interlocal agreement to kill geese include Bellevue, Kent, Kirkland, Mountlake Terrace, Port of Seattle - Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, Renton, Seattle Parks and Recreation, SeaTac, Tacoma Metro Parks, Tukwila, Woodinville, and the University of Washington.
Thank you for everything you do for animals!
