The plan to capture and kill 350 adult and juvenile Canada geese will be done in secret at various parks throughout Madison, Wisconsin, over the next couple of months. The USDA Wildlife service euthanizes 24,000 geese and goslings annually throughout the U.S. and feeds the birds to the homeless as well as to captive animals at education centers.
Amazingly, this article about the the culling of these geese and goslings mentions that, "the city hasn't aggressively pursued non-lethal means," of controlling the geese population and/or their droppings at city beaches and parks.
A group that provides non-lethal, humane solutions related to animal control is called Geese Peace.
