Good News! Seattle Parks has Announced a Moratorium for 2004-2005

As you know, for the past few years Canada geese have been rounded up?
and killed each summer in Seattle's public parks (and at other locations,?
such as the University of Washington campus) as part of regional efforts to?
control their numbers.

As part of the pilot program to explore and promote humane goose-management?
techniques, the Parks Department has agreed not to employ "lethal removal"?
of geese in Seattle public parks through the end of 2005. (Note: Parks can?
cancel the 2005 moratorium if this community-based program is unable to?
generate enough volunteers to make an impact in the pilot parks and?
demonstrate that humane methods work. Your help will make a difference!
