A group of geese advocates rallied in Foster City on Friday evening, the latest effort by this group to protest the city's plan to control the goose population.
"I think the murder option should definitely be off the table," said Brent Turner."There are so many other options available that are kinder to animals. I mean, I think this is just preposterous."
"It's ineffective and cruel," said advocate Erik Allen."Historically what works is habitat modification, meaning take away their food. They like lawns near water. If you take away their food, they're going to go away on their own. So if you replace the lawns with turf -- just a couple, not all of them."
Though the issue is unfolding in Foster City, San Mateo County Supervisor David Canepa says the county should find a way to help support the city in controlling the problem without killing the geese.
