One hates to see this happen but they are a mess. The looks I get from them when they are trying to cross Park Drive along the Cooper River is annoying. They think they own the road I really don't know how people can go out there and lay in the grass after they have been there. I went to a local cemetery recently and they had left so much crap it was hard to walk around. If they were your dog you would be in jail. I really can't blame them for doing what they have to do to remove the problem.

If only we could generate power off their waste...

The company I used to work for had an early morning goose turd patrol. I used to get there very early and they would be out on ATV's washing down all the sidewalks. For the large grassy areas they used the Goose Patrol guys. Leaving late in the day, the flocks would be coming in. I asked if I could set up a blind, but only got strange looks

Anyone know how they actually do the gassing?

46er, carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide is more than likely used. It is very common, for animal control to euthanize large numbers of animals using these gases. Sometimes other inert gases are added, such as argon.

I understand what is used, asking how it is administered.

I didn't want to be graphic, because it is a sensitive subject. Depending on who is doing the euthanasia, it can be a dedicated building or as simple as tarping the back of a truck. The gas can come from an engine's exhaust or tank filled with compressed gas.

I have read in Some states they use large Trash Cans

Hardly graphic. Using a load of BB's, that's graphic.

So they first have to net them, then do the deed.

To be honest, the geese probably had their necks broken as they were caged. Quick and easy. It doesn't bother you or I, but the treehuggers just love to scream about these things. I say feed the homeless with roasted goose. It is a waste of good meat.

So true. My only objection to the killing is the waste of meat while some people are starving. I know we're not the most rural state, but we certainly do our share of wasting meat.

I suspect it would have to meet some kind of health dept standards in that case, and would need to be cleaned, transported, stored, distributed, etc. Probably not a very good proposition from business point of view...

Boyd, it is suprising to see what programs states offer to feed the homeless. Here is a link to one...
