Madison’s efforts to control the city’s goose population is getting some pushback.
Opponents say the Madison Parks and Recreation Department killed about 70 geese at the Yahara Golf Course and Esther Beach this summer. Alliance for Animals says there should be an updated waterfowl management plan in place reflecting today’s health and science.
Members of that group protested outside City Hall Monday. They say the focus should be on non-lethal methods of control like fences, strobe lights, and decoy predators.
