Save the Canada Goose <br />(�' <br />3O3 G'a ctor _ <br />c4)--735-37?-/- <br />As you well remember last year the Geese were taken from off <br />lake. I'm trying this year to save them so they are safe here. Last <br />year the Canada Geese were taken and brutally slaughtered, <br />goslings were taken North they said. In reality they were <br />separated from there parents and taken to hunting farms where at <br />adult age they were among the chosen to be set free just to be shot <br />down by the hunters on the farm. The Adults were not so lucky <br />they were taken and slaughtered and put on the food shelves. <br />These geese are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty. The <br />Federal government may authorize the killing of migratory birds <br />only if they are "seriously injurious" to commercial interest- not <br />personal property. In Minnesota, and in other areas around the <br />country, Canada Geese have been rounded up. The round up and <br />capture takes place in June; Adult geese are molting at this time, <br />therefore, they cannot fly away, making them easy to catch. <br />Canada geese are monogamous, during the round up, many, if not <br />all, adult geese become separated from their mates. The adults are <br />also separated from their goslings. They suffer this inhumane <br />treatment mostly because of nuisance complaints. The Migratory <br />Bird Treaty Act hardly envisioned that these migratory birds <br />would be considered to injurious or depredating because they <br />poop in the wrong place. <br />Please sign this petition to save the Geese. <br />Name Address <br />77 %. <br />2't 1 <Scb - <br />3l� 5AJA6C-, <br />c3,49 Snycie/1/4- <br />Page 124 <br />ss 7 <br />55 t/7 <br />
