“Where do the wild geese go when they go away …?”
When Greg Brown wrote his song wondering where the wild geese go when they go away, he, as we do, probably had the image in mind of a group of these beautiful birds flying high up in the sky in their characteristic v-shaped flight pattern and their familiar crackling voices that always seem to have something to say.
Tragically, many Canada geese families currently nesting near ponds in parks, airports and even in and near wildlife refuges, will be rounded up by USDA Wildlife Service agents (WS) during their molting period when they cannot fly. Entirely helpless, they will be separated from their goslings, causing shock and panic among the parent geese and goslings, who frantically call their loved ones in a final futile attempt to find each other.
Instead, these highly intelligent birds, in a terrifying state of confusion and panic, will be either mercilessly thrown into mobile gas chambers, left struggling for their lives over a long period of time while fighting for oxygen in vain, or packed into crates and trucked to a slaughterhouse to be brutally hung upside down with their throats slashed for their flesh.
Please stay tuned for our upcoming alerts to ask for your active involvement to help save Canada geese from a certain horrific death! Please make sure you have provided your state, as many of our alerts are regional in nature.

What a band of sadists.
These are beautiful, intelligent, social birds – I had one who used to visit me and I with him or her for and entire summer – friendly, social and happy. He or she was a constant amazement and joy.
Thanks Jim!
Thank you, Anja
One of the most beautiful sights and sounds in the world is a flight of wild geese overhead. That they would be rounded up and killed in such a way is another example of unspeakable human behavior.
