(Neighbors might not be too impressed either). Yes, they are good to eat.


You think you have it bad? Try going down to Toronto Island. There's geese
and goose sh*t every two feet. I used to go down there with friends and a
few beer to picnic. It's a waste of time now. Those damn birds will walk
right up and steal your burger if you're not holding onto it tight enough.
Not too long ago, I read about a US city on their side of the lake that
killed a lot of them off and fed the homeless. I wish they'd do something
like that up here. There would be enough cooked goose to feed some thousands
of people.

The schools with large grounds locally were complaining about the
fouling and health risks, so some public spirited shooters offered their
services (weekends only when schools closed), the bums rush they got
would have made your head spin. Then the local councillors tried to make
the pests protected!
