The flocks of Canada geese, commonly seen in Bend's parks were the subject of a packed room debate Thursday night. The topic, is it time to consider killing some of the geese?

"The humane but lethal reduction seems to me to be the most logical," said one Bend resident.

"I don't think that the dipatching, the killing of wildlife is acceptable," said another.

In the middle, the Bend Metro Park and Recreation board of directors, taking public comment through mid-November before making any decisions.

"We have to do something. We can't just turn our head the other way," said Board Chairman Scott Wallace.

The problem, one of nature itself. The mess the geese leave behind.

"I've taken my young daughter to play in these places only to leave because of the filth everywhere," said a Bend resident.

For several years, the district tried trapping the Canada geese and moving them away.

"80% of those geese probably returned to town within five days," said Paul Stell from Bend Metro Park and Recreation District.

Herding dogs, oiling eggs, goose birth control, all were tried with limited success. Next, the district wants to try a remote control boat to chase the geese in the water and a rules change making it illegal to feed the geese.

For some, the answer is a lot more simple.

"Managing the geese population involves lethal means, I think that is a sustainable method as long as it's done selectively and strategically, " said a Bend resident.

For others, the issue goes beyond the right or wrong of killing geese.

"The dubious distinction of geese killers, we might have a public relations nightmare on our hand," said a Bend resident.

No decisions are made Thursday night. The entire crowd coming to agreement perhaps just once.

"I certainly understand that you have a sticky situation on your feet here," said a Sister's resident

URGENT ACTION NEEDED

There was a report on Adelaide radio this morning that the Belaire Park Country Club has hired a shooter to kill wood ducks. 

Laurie (Coalition Against Duck Shooting) has just spoken to Ron, one of the CEOs at the Country Club (who is nervous and aggressive and wouldn't supply his last name). 37 wood ducks have been shot in one day and they intend to continue shooting.  The CEO says they have obtained a permit from the South Australian Government, but we say shooting permits are issued too easily and not enough consideration is given to non-lethal alternatives.

This is totally unnecessary and unacceptable.  There are non-lethal alternatives and these days most golf clubs live happily with their wildlife.

We need hundreds of emails going to golf@belairparkgolfcourse.com.au and info@belairparkcountryclub.com.au and people phoning Ron, or anyone in management on 08 8278 7534 - and keeping it up for the next two weeks - ringing and/or emailing every day.  

Please also cc your email to Allan Holmes, CEO of SA Dept. of Environment and Heritage holmes.allan@saugov.sa.gov.au

People should not be abusive, but rather point out that there are non-lethal alternatives such as rubber snakes, dogs being walked on leads, radio controlled model planes, etc. which will deter the birds and that the shooting of native waterbirds is not acceptable.  Most golfers don't like wildlife being shot and are outraged to learn this is taking place.

Waterbird numbers across eastern Australia over the last 25 years has decreased a staggering 82%.  This is caused mainly by drought and climate change.  The sad state of the Coorong in South Australia, once a major waterbird breeding area, is a prime example.

The Club has used a supposedly non-lethal chemical in the past that kept the birds off, but they say they can't aford to use it any longer.


Thanks,
