Eating Canada geese: a delicious solution to New Jersey's goose problem

Ledger Live for Wednesday January 6th, 2010 - Ledger Live with Brian Donohue.

@gemini16th No matter how people this people are cute, people are overpopulated too. And spread diseases too. So, don't come up with poor arguments and argumentation. thanks.

No mater how cute people think these birds are- the facts are that they have seriously overpopulated, to the extent that they are causing problems all over the U.S. They have caused numerous issues with airlines- including 78 recent strikes with aircraft in New York. The Center for Disease Control Atlanta confirm that Canada goose excrement is laden with potentially dangerous bacteria, some of which are resistant to bactericides(do you want your children exposed to this?). I say feed the poor!

I'm not a hunter, but I've often wondered why we don't eat them. They look like they would be good eating.
