She said he put the goslings in a gas grill. When that didn't kill them, he beat them to death, she said.

Gunn told authorities he fed the geese to his dog.

After Gunn pleaded guilty in federal court, he joked about the episode.

"I ran afoul of the law and laid a huge egg and have received a gaggle of problems as a result," he said. "I am just glad this wild goose chase is behind us now."

They were pooping in his yard and the disease associated with it concerned him. The only reason the nosy neighbor lady from next door got involved was because the mom and dad geese were honking and raising heck.

PS: he was a Rep.

What other reason would there be? Extra sensory perception?

If the things were diseased, putting them in your gas grill is probably not the best idea. They'd crap themselves all over your grill.

I don't care that he killed the geese, but the way he did it and his attitude about it are insane.

The guy is not able to behave in society and needs his head checked.

Killing and cooking them isn't SO bad, but cooking them alive, that's pretty farked up.

1. Canuck geese are mean, nasty, and crap up a golf course like nobody's business.
2. Goose breast wrapped in bacon and sauteed is delicious. Bacon... what can't it do?
3. NOTHING should be burnt alive (except for serial killers and pedophiles)
4. And he was glib about this? Farking bastard.

A former Republican state senator in Mississippi has pleaded guilty to charges that he took young Canada geese from their habitat and killed them in his gas grill.

How did I know that before clicking the link?
Anyway, he's a lightweight. I heard Cheney grills (then eats) babies.

2nd and 3rd posts. shows how incredibly diverse fark is.

no matter how correct and sane you think your view is, someone on fark thinks the exact opposite and believes their view is the correct one.

Yeahhhhhhh.... I'm just going to take a wild guess here and say... Republican?

 
Headso 2008-07-11 04:11:54 PM  
Im_Gumby:3. NOTHING should be burnt alive (except for serial killers and pedophiles)

I think he tried to kill them with the gas fumes from his grill because the article said after the grill didn't work he beat them to death, it seems like throwing some baby geese into a lit grill would do the trick and wouldn't need a follow up beating...

When a guy cooks baby geese alive in a gas grill, and you cry "bbbut geese are a biohazard," you're automatically neurotic for having missed the relevant point entirely.

So now my tax dollar are going to paying fines for killing baby geese?

Where is the 'hero' tag on this? Geese are disgusting creatures, and having a bunch of babies around is the last thing you want. That just encourages more to come. It's funny that he was joking about this when he got in trouble; that nosy neighbor needs some bird feed spread all over her lawn, biatch.

Nestea Plunge:Yeah, it must be music to your ears to hear baby birds screaming in agony.

Screaming in agony? Please. He was trying to gas them to death which is actually pretty humane. I guess beating them to death was pretty excessive though, so he definitely deserved to get in some trouble. If he was smart he would have just thrown them straight to his pooch or maybe shot them from a distance.

This guy also designed campaign fliers for David Duke.

So it looks like he topped himself there.

No, just someone who doesn't think that geese are particularly worthy of protection any more than any other varmint or nuisance. Christ, you people must never have lived outside of a city before.

Imagine if he tried to gas them with helium. Like Carlin said, anything can be funny.

Whether they're vermin or disease carriers there's a right and wrong way to dispose of living creatures. This guy is vermin and should be exterminated in a humane and proper manner.

Or just get a shovel and cut their heads off. Like I said earlier, don't care that he killed a few geese. But his method and attitude lead me to believe he's farking nuts.

According to the article, he had a dog. Dogs usually like to chase geese. Geese tend to stay away from dogs.

Makes me think of law full of rat traps . . . . guess the gas grill ain't so bad.


I do recall a video of a farmer that was losing everything -- filling a 55 gallon drum with thousands chicks to drown them -- as he couldn't feed them -- and the price of chicken at the time wasn't worth the trouble.

THAT was disturbing. Farmer didn't like it either.

have you? you can easily keep geese of your property with a dog, geese and many other birds, for some crazy reason are afraid of dogs and will move somewhere else if there is a dog on the property.

 
I Said [TotalFark] 2008-07-11 04:30:26 PM  
I should probably clarify my "cut their heads off with a shovel" comment.

I mean, use a knife if you can, but when I was younger a mouse got snagged on a glue trap meant for roaches. My uncle used a flat metal shovel to quickly cut its head off, rather then let it starve to death. That's why I said "use a shovel".

Varmints and nuisances, gas chambers and beatings.

These are a few of my favorite things....sorry quoting city slicker music.

Not swans. Those farkers are vicious. We had 3 dogs and a pair of swans that lived in a lake near by would attack them quite often if they were trying to pass through our property.

So you're willing to shoot a poor defenseless ducky with a hand cannon but you think gassing them is somehow more cruel. Please.

Well obviously this guy's dog wasn't up to the task. And say I buy a Rottweiler to take care of it - you'd complain even more about the blood and feathers and guts and bones splattered all over your lawn and neighborhood. Face it, you just don't want poor little animals to die. Sorry, it's nature.

When I was very little, my granddad raised chickens for eggs. Eventually, the chickens stopped being so productive, and he got a bit older. He decided to stop selling eggs. So what did he do? He took me out back, grabbed each chicken and chopped it's head off. It's what ya do to birds you don't want any more. We buried them in a small hole, and that was that.

/doesn't excuse this guy
//seriously, gassing? He have some unadorned Nazi Fetish to get out?
