It is a real mess, and has been for as long as I've been alive. The lack of action is really telling, in my mind, as to how big of a mess it really is.

They'll just keep right on putting off peoples concerns, they don't care about thousands of snow geese or people fur that matter. All hey care about is profit. Anything that reduces the risks to people or the environment is secondary to that. Any cost associated with that affects the bottom line. Read the post above your reply to me.

Does anything think this was an intentional kill-off of these birds due to them being a "nuisance"?

I am sure it was geese doing what geese do and thought they were landing on a pond or lake .too bad and so sad .

Funny enough, up until around the 60's, there was a natural lake about 5 miles south of the the Pit.

It was drained and the Country Club golf course and high-end neighborhood was born. Is that irony or serendipity? I still can't decide.
