About 300 geese in Denver were rounded up, culled and turned into meals for hungry families, as the birds' population swells. 'There’s no vegetation,' an official says. 'They’ve eaten everything. There’s poop everywhere on the ground.” (CPRNews)
USDA biologists herd Canada geese down a chute into an enclosure to be culled from City Park, July 1, 2019. — and donate the meat to needy families — continued in the predawn hours of Monday morning.
The molting birds were helpless to fly from their fate, and some hissed or honked at the workers, but all eventually found themselves trapped against temporary fencing on shore, packing in so closely that the birds climbed atop each other. At least one tried fruitlessly to squeeze through narrow openings in the fencing.
A USDA biologist in a kayak herds Canada geese towards an enclosure on the bank of Denver City Park's Ferril Lake, July 1, 2019. As hundreds of Canada geese fill a temporary enclosure, USDA biologists cull them and place them on orange crates in City Park, July 1, 2019. Since news of the cullings first broke, Gilmore said he’s been inundated with online comments and voicemails, some of which are threatening. He said two voicemails suggested he should be killed for how he has chosen to manage the geese. He said they weren’t specific threats, but did alert the police.
