[Peace] Protest killing of 60-100 geese--Protest Tuesday, 12 noon, May 12

[Susan Parenti]

Hi friends—Let’s meet *tomorrow Tuesday May 12 at 12 noon at the corner of
Park Street and Broadway to Protest* the Urbana Park District’s intention
of killing 3/4 of the Canadian Geese population in the next month, as their
way to ‘restore balance’. This killing of the animals would be engineered
by the USDA, which calls this action ‘charity harvest’: the geese are
collected, killed, processed into meat, and then given to food banks and
the poor.

Killing 60 to 100 geese and goslings is not a solution to ‘restoring
balance’—it’s a giving *up*, a giving* in *to a lack of imagination and
compassion, a human-centric action.The Park District can do better—and if
they can’t ,we will.

Please spread the word about the protest tomorrow at noon. Bring signs. *6
feet social distancing will be strictly observed. To participate you must
wear a mask and gloves. *

Tomorrow night the Park District will meet with the park Commissioners
7-9pm to vote on this ‘charity harvest'—and we are invited to attend the
zoom. (More on that tomorrow). Our Park Commissioners have a record of
going along with whatever the Urbana Park District recommends—so we should
not expect any dissent there. We’re going to need to bring the dissent.

Here is the survey that asks for your views on the geese (the survey is
against the geese)—but it will help if you could take a few minutes to fill
it out: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/K6R2HWQ
