[Peace] Park Commissioners & Staff vote to KILL THE GEESE

[Karen Aram]

As a current Officer with the local Prairie Greens, I don’t know of anyone within the organization interested in running for any office..

A candidate for this position should be someone knowledgeable on all aspects of the park and environment. 

Yes, Deb or Susan would be perfect.

>>> Hi friends—Despite eloquent testimonies by towns-people AGAINST “Charity Harvest’ (the procedure that kills geese and tries to give away their carcasses as ‘meat’) the Board of Commissioners, aided by UPD staff, voted unanimously and with no stir of conscience to go ahead with killing the geese in June/July. AS spoken by Rohn Koester, the problem with Crystal Lake Park is not the geese, it is the Park District, and its inability to listen and speak with the community. Wow—so tonight was a perfect example of that. 
>>> 
>>> Some of us who spoke tonight, and protested today at noon by the park, really want to go ahead with protests, street theater, and awareness raising. It turns out that social distancing is really fun when we’re protesting—it makes us look like a much bigger group because we’re 6 feet apart! I miss you guys. 
>>> 
>>> So tomorrow at 12 noon we’ll once again meet at park Street and Broadway for an hour, and plan and plot in between talking to the cars going past. (Today EVERY car honked in favor of our message to not kill the geese, save for one grumpy guy. )
>>> 
>>> And we’ll start planning on meeting. I look forward to street theater in the park, to raise awareness and fun!

>>> Let me know if you want to be part of this.

>>> And geese, we will try so hard to prevent them from killing you, killing us. Though I might sound cheerful, I’m absolutely trembling with sadness for us, for you.
