No Madison Goose Kill - (Facebook page)
"It is the practice of roundups, more than anything else, that has divided communities. It is believed by many who care for geese and the environment to be unnecessary, illogical, and inhumane...When The HSUS advocates life-affirming solutions as the only reasonable response to the problems people sometimes have with Canada geese, we do so as much to affirm our own lives as theirs." - Humane Society of the United States (HSUS)
this site is lovingly dedicated to the geese of Warner Park
