Headso:Shaggy_C: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.

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.

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.

Churchy LaFemme:Buzzzzzzz. I'm a duck/geese hunter and think this guy is a 'tard.

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

Headso: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.

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.

DarnoKonrad: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.

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?

That's because you have pomeranians.

I fail to see how putting live animals on your grill is nature.

Says Republican state senator Mike Gunn: "Christians feel, rightfully so, that there has been an assault on our Christian commitment, on our Christianity."

I love Republican Christians.

And yes, geese are poopers. Big time. Call wildlife. Have them removed. This guy is a sick mutherfarker.

OneNutSaloon:That's because you have pomeranians.

heh, no. It was a golden retriever, a yellow lab, and a mut (larger then the other two, short hair, not sure what the mix was though).

The dogs would fight them, and eventually they'd leave, but I was shocked as a kid to see how aggressive swans could be.

saintstryfe:seriously, gassing? He have some unadorned Nazi Fetish to get out?

Clearly the guy was a moran. Hardware store Ether would have done the job. Not farking propane.

/some people just aren't very bright.

OneNutSaloon:Shaggy_C:Sorry, it's nature.

I fail to see how putting live animals on your grill is nature.

Well, you've gotta grill outside.

Shaggy_C:Churchy LaFemme:Yeahhhhhhhh. I'm guessing you're a Republican as well...

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.

They are vermin. But cmon, he took the small ones and threw them on his grill. You don't think he was getting a kick like sick little kid?

And yes, I've live in the country. My cousin had freaking squirrles living "upstairs" in her A-Frame. Called exterminator and he put up, I swear, freaking big sticky squirrle sized fly traps.

We had him take them down and lived with the squirrles. Some things are just inhumane.

canadian geese suck 'n all, but wtf is this guy's problem.

that's farkin' psychopathic.

check that guy's freezer for bodies.

OneNutSaloon:I fail to see how putting live animals on your grill is nature.

You don't think lions ever kill something that they don't want to eat just because it pesters them? I'm sorry you deny your evolution, OneNutSaloon, but you are no more than what a few hundred million years of an opposable thumb made you. You are a bipedal plains ape, OneNutSaloon. You surround yourself with nice houses and cars and expensive food brought to you from around the world but the fact of the matter is that somewhere down the line an animal had to be MURDERED to feed you. It might make you uncomfortable OneNutSaloon, but all of us animals share this world and, well, as carnivores we find ourselves able to whatever the hell we want when it comes to lesser species. These geese failed in their evolution by putting themselves so close to danger. This guy was wrong for beating them to death but I hardly think it's something that's somehow outside of the normal laws of nature.

PascalsGhost:They are vermin. But cmon, he took the small ones and threw them on his grill. You don't think he was getting a kick like sick little kid?

In the grill...IN. He was trying to gas them, which apparantly didn't work out too well.

Shaggy_C: Dude, do you kill your neighbors dog when it barks at you?

OneNutSaloon:Shaggy_C:Sorry, it's nature.

I fail to see how putting live animals on your grill is nature.

It (new window)

Happens. (new window)

Yuck. (new window)

OneNutSaloon:Dude, do you kill your neighbors dog when it barks at you?

No, I have morals.

Shaggy_C:OneNutSaloon:Dude, do you kill your neighbors dog when it barks at you?

No, I have morals.

But the dog failed the evolutionary test so it is your Darwinian duty to put it out of its misery.
/at least according to your rant.

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

I think that the mindset of the two activities is totally different. That you don't see that is telling.

Shaggy_C:OneNutSaloon:Dude, do you kill your neighbors dog when it barks at you?

No, I have morals.

Duckling rapist.

OneNutSaloon:But the dog failed the evolutionary test so it is your Darwinian duty to put it out of its misery.

The point was that nature allows for it and it happens in the wild. You argued that it was not nature. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Shaggy_C:This guy was wrong for beating them to death but I hardly think it's something that's somehow outside of the normal laws of nature.

Neither is rape.

Now, excuse me while I go have my way with a Pomeranian. I hope you won't judge me for doing so :)

SchlingFo:Now, excuse me while I go have my way with a Pomeranian. I hope you won't judge me for doing so :)

Interspecies sex? Freak.

I had a friend whose Dad would capture squirrels and then asphyxiate them by putting them in a bag and tying it to the tailpipe of the car. Basically, he gassed them.

Here's where it gets weirder. Once at a party I was wandering around the upstairs when I happened upon his Dad's office which had swastikas and other Nazi memorabilia on the walls and shelves. He even had one of those eagles with the swastika in its talons on his desk.

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

Yep. If it had been a Democrat, he would have opened up the back of their skulls and sucked their brains out. Just practicing.

/light fuse, run away

flavor of the month:canada geese are vermin. that guy should get a medal.

IF it had been a Democrat, there wouldn't be any baby ducks. He would have made the mommy duck late term abort them at gun point.

"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."

I can't believe I it took someone this far down the thread but WHAT IS HIS FARK HANDLE.

Historically people would feed the geese grain that had been soaked in alcohol, they eat it, eat too much of it and pass out.

at this point it is a simple matter to break their necks, pluck, gut, clean, hang, clean, and then cook them.

but that was back before we had grocery stores and could get fresh meat year round without killing ourselves.

trying to gas them, only a repugnican would do something like that to get rid of those he dislikes.

PascalsGhost:They are vermin. But cmon, he took the small ones and threw them on his grill.

Basically, he suffocated them. Propane and butane are generally non-toxic. However, in high enough doses, they displace the oxygen required for breathing.

The goslings most likely experienced drowsiness, euphoria, narcosis and finally asphyxia.

One could debate to as if this is a more humane method of execution versus decapitation (often used for chickens and turkeys) or by rifle fire. IMHO, it is more humane than death by shotgun loaded by buckshot.

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

You realize that geese are some of the most agressive animals there are, particularly when there are chicks around? Farking geese, kill them all...

/They're from Canada anyway
//Got bit by a goose once...

Shaggy_C: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.

That's why you shoot the adults then clean them and eat them. Shooting them kills them instantly, then you put the carcass to good use.

Putting the goslings into a grill to try to kill them is the mark of a psychopath. And that's what most people here are objecting to.

Nestea Plunge:About as funny as a Dane Cook HBO special...

that doesn't make anything sense, Dane Cook's not a comedian.

/what?... really?
//are you sure?

Do you realize that geese have really long, easily broken necks? They might be aggressive, but they are also fragile.

It's getting past the buffeting wings and big pecker that's the tough part.

maddogdelta:Putting the goslings into a grill to try to kill them is the mark of a psychopath.

Is it?

What if you do not have a rifle, or if discharging firearms is illegal in your town?

What if you do not have a hatchet or axe along with a chopping block?

What if you do not have poison or some other fatal ingestable product handy?

This man's actions were sloppy, careless and showed some lack of empathy. However, I do not think that they crossed the line into the actions of a psychopath. He could have burnt the goslings alive in his grill, he could have kicked them around like a ball, or if his dog wasn't trained for the immediate kill, he could have had his dog treat them like a chew toy.

Why don't you jump in the grill with the gas on, and come back and give us a report on theeuphoria.

The Migratory Bird Act. You can't kill them, period.

BobXXL:Why don't you jump in the grill with the gas on, and come back and give us a report on theeuphoria.

Because I don't want to end up as a brain damaged 'tard like you?

I guess "Shoo - shoo!" was too tough?

Having lived on a reservoir like the Ross Barnett, I can also say - you WANT the geese or egrets there, as long as you can keep them down near the shore, because they kill water moccasins. If you obliterate all the water birds, you end up with Snakes on a Patio in the evenings. They like warm bricks on cool evenings.
