Parkersburg mayor Bob Newell said the city’s parks are overrun by Canada geese and the waste is a prevalent problem at both City Park and Southwood Park.
...John Houben, a wildlife biologist and district supervisor with the U.S. Department of Agriculture...spent a day at City Park and counted 200 Canada geese. Houben told council the 200 geese will deposit more than 150 pounds of waste a day.
Newell said it would cost anywhere from $12,000 to $14,000 to manage the city’s geese population. Newell said attending the Daffodil Days event at City Park, excrement was everywhere.

I have a .22 rifle with scope and plenty of ammo if they want to pay me a bounty.
Damn geese are nesting around my office and chasing people as they try to get to the front door. Someone needs to tell me why the stupid things are protected. They are everywhere....
