should work for this News-Gazette article.   Details:

Friends of the Geese are hosting a memorial service Saturday for the 175
geese killed this week by the Urbana Park District in its “charity harvest."

Today, *Saturday 6/27, at 5:00PM* at the*Lake House* in Crystal Lake
Park, Urbana.*    Bring a mask.*

“Please wear dark clothes if you can, bring a candle, and some small
token to leave in Crystal Lake Park for the spirits of these brave and
faithful animals,” *organizer Susan Parenti said in an email.   [...]

“In this Memorial we’ll also remember the attempts happening right now
to halt brutality, to increase care,” Parenti wrote. “To stand up for an
animal does not mean to stand down for humans.”

And though the article mentions that meat from these geese would be
donated to food banks, we have learned separately that that can't happen
with these geese due to the way they were killed -- despite the "charity
harvest" label.
