RESIDENT DENNIS HOLDER – WHAT IS BEING DONE ABOUT THE GEESE?
MAYOR DWYER REPLIED THERE IS A VOLUNTEER COMMITTEE RIGHT NOW CALLED THE COMMITTEE FOR HUMANE GEESE CONTROL AND THEY ARE WORKING WITH THE BI STATE LAKE COMMISSION. THEY ARE TRYING TO REDUCE THE GEESE POPULATION IN A HUMANE WAY. LAST YEAR THE COMMISSION WAS ROUNDING UP GEESE AND GASSING THEM. THIS UPSET SOME RESIDENTS SO THEY ARE TRYING TO WORK WITH THE COMMISSION TO COME UP WITH A BETTER SOLUTION. RIGHT NOW THEY ARE IDENTIFYING NESTING LOCATIONS BECAUSE THIS IS THE TIME OF YEAR THAT THEY LAY EGGS. WE ARE WORKING WITH THE COMMITTEE AND THE COMMISSION AND BASICALLY THE METHOD THEY ARE USING IS CALLED ADDLING. THEY LOCATE THE NESTS AND THEN RUB THE EGGS IN CANOLA OIL, WHICH CLOGS THE PORES ON THE EGGS AND THEY CAN’T GROW. THEY CAN’T JUST TAKE THE EGGS, BECAUSE THE GEESE WILL JUST LAY MORE EGGS. THIS WAY THEY DON’T KNOW THE EGGS AREN’T GROWING AND WILL STILL SIT ON THEM. IT CAN BE AN EFFECTIVE WAY OF REDUCING POPULATION.
