Nothing about the population growth of Canadian geese in urban areas is natural

Hmm almost like they depend on green spaces like this one that we are wasting town resources trying to deny them.

*they rely on green spaces with a lack of natural predators & artificially trimmed grass.

Stop acting like they're native to the esplanade lmao

Yeah they were definitely here before the Europeans so idk what you mean. And yes they benefit from a green space, why not try tolerance instead of purging an animal that isn't dangerous at all.

I suppose we should also just let pigeons run the Porter Sq T station too then
