Vernon has options around geese cull

- Steve Skultety, Vernon

DEAR EDITOR:

Now the City of Vernon is moving ahead with a plan to reduce nuisance Canadian Geese number for thousands of dollars.

I am not against doing that, but the city could have accomplish­ed the same thing with no cost.

Here is how: city to obtain all the permits needed. Geese being migratory game, probably federal permits.

Then get the Vernon Fish and Game

Club members bait and trap the number of birds that need to be removed, I believe the meat from those birds would be well utilized and you would have no shortage of volunteers for the job. Use the saved money to improve things that you have no money for.
