Canada Geese Massacre in Denver, CO: Correspondence & Update

PROTEST CANADA GEESE MASSACRE IN DENVER, COLORADO:
[link removed]


Dear Friends,

Thank you for your many emails and phone calls to the executive director of the
Denver Department of Parks and Recreation, Scott Gilmore. Tragically, the
round-up of geese sitting peacefully on the water at dawn has continued, as
shown here:

If Mr. Gilmore is experiencing any remorse for the suffering and death he has
needlessly authorized, it is not apparent.

Mr. Gilmore's email to UPC can be read here:

So many heartfelt pleas to Mr. Gilmore to save the geese have been made and
forwarded to UPC over the past week. We chose one that describes to Mr. Gilmore
a peaceful resolution by Corporate Real Estate in Colorado:

Philosophy professor John Sanbonmatsu spoke with Mr. Gilmore on July 10. Here,
in part, is John's report on their conversation:

Incredibly, after 40 minutes of polite conversation and argument, Gilmore
somehow thought he was "reassuring" me when he then added that the geese
hadn't been "wasted," but had been "processed" with help from the USDA and
served in food pantries for poor families needing "high quality" protein
during the COVID epidemic. "No part was wasted," etc.! And he really thought
this would help me feel better about the killing.

We will continue our effort, led by Canada Geese Protection Colorado, to save
the geese and stop the violence, if not this year, then next. Here is the most
recent update from Canada Geese Protection Colorado:

Please write back to Mr. Gilmore at [email protected] if you're
dissatisfied with his response to your pleas on behalf of the geese. He claims
that all but one person he talked to on the phone - 30 or more - now
"understand" (sympathize or agree with) his decision to destroy the geese, but
this is not true. People are sickened by his behavior toward the geese and by
his attempt to pacify the outrage. He's confusing our civility with complicity.


Keep HONKING for the Canada Geese!
