Comments on The Galapagos Goats
poison would be better for the rabbits, no half-assed measures that only get the ones we can see
Oh noes! Not the bunnies!!!
And this is why Seattle is only #2 in being a Animal Friendly city.
It Takes A Bradley And A Savage To Hold Us Back (at #2)
kill the geese and rabbits and then feed them to the homeless (free) and also the rich (at a $500 a plate charity dinner to raise $ for shelters). then you get to do good while making rich fuckers eat crack addicted rabbits and toxic geese... it works out perfectly!
(feel the "#2 animal friendly city" love everyone!)
One of the more remarkable things about Galapagos is that the animals have no fear of humans--won't exploding bullets have an effect on that?
@1- poison may also harm native species. Pesticide in any form= BAD.
Canada geese are native, dumbass.
Wasn't there something about ten years ago were the park rangers in the Olympic National Park were trying to eradicate the mountain goats for the same reason?
btw, I was reading a book on halucenogenics, er, about halucenogenics, and it said that mountain goats will eat halucinogenic lichens from rocks until their teeth are ground down to nubs, but they still do reasonably well navigating cliff slopes.
chris - the habitat that canada geese go for, short grass meadows at the edge of fresh, still water, was extremely rare before sub-urban lawns on the lake shores of the puget sound.
Canada geese can be effectively managed by changing the landscape design to have native shrubs (roses, dogwood, sedges, etc) at the waters edge.
The Canada goose problem is a direct result of importing levittown design from New Jersey, as opposed to the naturalistic design of the Olmstead brothers.
The geese are primarily a problem in the Olmstead-designed lawn areas of Green Lake, not the "Levittown" houses and their lawns, virtually all of which were in place in the Green Lake neighborhoods long before Levittown even existed, in New York, not New Jersey.
The biggest danger to the Galapagos isn't the goats, nasty as they are, but the hordes of ecotourists who go there in hundreds of giant cruise ships. Want to help save the Galapagos? Stay the hell away from it.
the geese are native MIGRANTS. not permanent poop factory residents.
goosocaust!
Damn lawns and HOAs. This year I will dump a ton of fertilizer and pesticides so my lawn is green enough. I cannot plant most native plants because of house covenants. Godbye salmon, go die canadian geese, thank you very much king county and HOA.
@5 No.
I thought that's why you guys had Brendan on staff.
