Subject: Spring Hunt of Snow Geese

I've heard some rumblings from Quebec which indicate that the provincial
gov't is planning on a spring hunt of Snow Geese in their nesting areas
which is tentatively dated for 1998. Apparently, the geese are bothering
the farmers out there, and they "need to be controlled."

If anyone has any information on the hunt, or has advice on how to
confront the people who are planning it, please send me a response
off-list. Likewise, if someone would like to send me a disagreeable rant
on the inappropriateness of my post, please send it to me off-list.

P.S. 25% of the last 10 posts I've received were initiated due to
someone's whining about not being able to read the subject heading. The
other 75% were bird-related.
