Protect Denver's Canada Geese: Take Action!

Several hundred Canada Geese were forcibly removed from area parks and
inhumanely slaughtered in June/July 2020.

In 2019, the city of Denver summoned federal agents to round up more than 1,600
Canada geese. Sources say the geese were trucked to R&C Processing in Fort
Collins, Colorado. The frightened geese and their young waited in the blistering
heat until they were slaughtered. Many perished while waiting. Wildlife Services
said they were killed by "human hands." If so, this means dislocating their
necks resulting in lengthy and painful deaths, or taking a knife or a hatchet
and chopping off their heads. Or they could have been slaughtered by the
standard automated poultry slaughter process that includes paralytic electric
shock and automated throat-cutting. Or a combination of these cruelties could
have been used.

Denver activists stated about this year's roundup: "This year we're not sure
where they met their demise. We need your help to finally put an end to this
brutality. As taxpayers, we paid for this horrific nightmare."

WHAT CAN I DO?

Please sign this new petition. You can go even further by personally contacting
Denver city officials and the Denver tourist bureau, Visit Denver. Tell them how
disgusted you are with the handling of the Canada geese and that the city needs
to adopt compassionate, nonlethal ways of resolving the conflict. If you're an
out-of-towner, tell them your decision to visit Denver will be negatively
impacted by Denver's egregiously cruel behavior to the geese. Urge that if they
care about the reputation of their city and animal cruelty, they must act
constructively to prevent these unconscionable massacres in the future. Request
a written reply from each official and administrator to your concerns.
