We created an inviting and predator-free space for the geese, so we need to use our big problem-solving brains to devise a humane and sustainable solution to the problem we created. Rounding up wild geese while they are flightless and shipping them to a slaughterhouse is neither humane nor sustainable. Fortunately, other communities have solved their goose problem and all we need to do is emulate them. <br>

She ties it up into everything else going on in the world today including Covid-19 and US Wars around the world. I don’t live in Urbana. But it seems to me that Urbana should give a reprieve to their geese as an Affirmation of Life. Something we need these dark days for sure. In any event, well done Karen!” Congrats! Fab.<br>
