GeesePeace. Training. Humane Population Control. March 2011. Bergen County. Keep Life in the Park.


Here is an announcement from Keep Life in the Park (KLIP) regarding humane geese population control in our public parks.
GeesePeace ,the organization, has been working with government agencies who are enlightened enough to go the humane way in controlling the geese population in parks and the general area.
Remember, not too long ago, families of geese in Bergen County parks were surreptitiously herded into a truck and gassed to death by the USDA. The gassing took place in the wee hours of the day to escape detection and public outcry. If not for an early morning hiker who cried foul, the gassing would have continued unchecked.
The Bergen County Board of Freeholders quickly condemned the practice and outlawed the gassing of any geese in the county. I am still awed by that class act that other counties can't seem to follow.
GeesePeace will show us how they do it in these training sessions. I can make it to the 8pm sessions, and so I'll see you there.
==================================

Hi Wildlife Lovers!

The Bergen County Parks is sponsoring training in the Geese Peace protocol for humane geese population control. Please come to this important training and be a part of a humane movement for coexisting with these special creatures.

The training will be held on March 22 and March 24 at McFaul Environmental Center Wyckoff. There will be two sessions each day:

· March 22, 2011
1:00 PM to 2:00 PM and 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM

· March 24, 2011
1:00 PM to 2:00 PM and 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM

I look forward to seeing you at one these trainings.

Hi Ted. As I just looked up at the sky this morning to observe a flock of geese fly in perfect uniform, I thought how glad I was that they make up part of our natural landscape. What a tragedy about the mass killings.

Thank you for spreading the word about this. At the Hackensack Riverkeeper cleanups, there are often people who trained through GeesePeace to do double duty while we're picking up beer cans and water bottles, which seem a greater nuisance than the droppings.

Philippines. Reporting Animal Cruelty. Emergency Numbers. RA 8485.

Because I belong to an group of animal welfare advocates in the Philippines, I can read the numerous discussions between group members and people who, seems to me, just signed up to make an urgent plea for help. There were two this week who begged for assistance concerning two dogs who were tied up under rain and sun with no food nor water. One was described to be on the verge of a heat stroke. The images that filled my mind disturbed me immensely, but I am also encouraged at the same time. There is a growing number of animal welfare advocates in the Philippines and ordinary citizens are beginning to reject animal cruelty, willing to take personal action against it. Just from this website, I can see from the visitor data that many are seeking information on how to report animal cruelty in the Philippines. You can find my previous post on the subject HERE . Keep in mind that your complaint has legal standing via the Philippine Animal Welfare Act which is also known as the RA 8485 .

Tampa, Florida. Animal Abuse. Five Dogs Neglected. November 2008.

Oh, I'm sorry. Have I introduced you to this nice couple over here? World, meet Wilmer Fernandez (34)and his wife Aixa Rodriguez (32). They live in Tampa, Florida with several children plus FIVE starving and abused dogs. The news reported that three of the dogs were tied up in the backyard with a leash that was too short to give them any room to exercise their muscles while two of the five dogs, boxer and dachshund, hadn't seen a veterinarian at all. One of the five was near death. A dog named Casper , according to the officers, was so sick that they could not tell what breed he was. All dogs were found to be hungry and thirsty. If on November 30, an investigator didn't coincidentally see an emaciated dog in the backyard of 12315 Cambridge Ave ., where Fernandez and Rodriguez live, these dogs would have died a very cruel death. When questioned, the couple argued that they did not have the money to properly care for the dogs. Well, yeah, how could they afford vet care when
