Hi, Tweets

This is just for those of you against the killing of our local Canada Geese.

This week, the City of Seattle Plans to Resume Its Inhumane, Expensive, and
Unnecessary Gassing of Our Canada Geese.

Please call Seattle's Mayor Greg Nickels and Seattle Parks Superintendent
Ken Bounds immediately and ask them to use the proven and humane
alternatives to killing Canada geese.

During their molting season, Canada geese lose their flight feathers and
are unable to fly. For the last three years during the molting season,
federal agents -- hired by the Seattle Parks Department -- fit "gas
chambers" onto the backs of trucks, lure the geese -- including newborns --
and then load them into these chambers to be gassed to death.

Despite evidence that killing geese is both an ineffective and expensive
method of controlling the population of Canada geese in Seattle parks, and
despite the offer of assistance from sixty trained volunteers to implement
effective and humane solutions, City officials are again proceeding with
plans to round up and kill thousands of birds this summer.

YOU can help stop the kill!

Please call or email these two decision makers immediately and politely
express your opposition to the killing:

--Kenneth Bounds, Superintendent of Seattle City Parks

--Mayor Greg Nickels

Progressive Animal Welfare Society) at 425-742-4009, Ext. 259 or

Thank you for helping Seattle's Canada Geese!
