Animals are fine, but Canada Geese aren’t “wild” anymore… they are invasive pests. Why is it ok to badmouth rats and pigeons but not these guys?

i don’t think anyone is romanticizing them, but we do have to share the world with animals too…I know that is really hard to believe living in the city, but have some compassion for them at least. It is a park after all.

46, I think the Canada geese are probably saying the same thing about yuppies in their khaki shorts who sit on their lawn.

Canada geese are pests as much as pigeons. Why are you all romanticizing them?

Maybe it is news that the state no longer wants to take care of the park? And city doesn’t want a pieces of it ether? It’s a nice place, but why does the community have the responsibility to make sure that the correct agencies takes responsibility after making a commitment to do so. That’s the news folks. Politics of a park.

I know, maybe we should shoot the ducks, then you don’t have to ruin your precious shoes when you step in their crap. Damn birds getting in the way of our urban living.

OK, I go there all the time and those ducks/geese crap everywhere. There is Duck S*@# everywhere and that was when there were far fewer ducks. I’m looking at that picture of the lawn thinking, that’s one lawn I would NOT want to walk on!

I’m excited about the park too…it’s amazing that people on this blog can put a negative spin on something like having a park to enjoy…i think those people should move to another neighborhood if they hate it so much. I guess some people just love to hate.

I could do without all that Canadian geese poop, but I guess it fertilizes that grass.

There’s a lot more green in the park than I expected. Nice to have that much more grassy space…

Canadian Geese taste pretty good if you cook them right.

Maybe they are bobos now? And they are rats who eat Whole Foods?

I’m by definition a “young, urban, professional” but get called a “shaggy-haired Midwesterner.”

Although I think the khaki comment was more about temperment/tastes/values as conventionally “yuppie” than actual job category/age.

There’s that overused term “yuppie” again…

I’m by definition a yuppie (young urban professional, for people who use the term and don’t know what it actually means) and I don’t wear khakis.

squirrels are rats with furry tails.
