BEND -- Geese killed by the Bend Park & Recreation District last month have been turned into meals for the hungry in central Oregon.

The decision to kill more than 100 Canada geese that had become a nuisance was criticized by animal rights activists.

But the park district had the animals professionally butchered and frozen, then donated the meat to feed the needy, The Bulletin newspaper reported.

2. Goose is so fatty.
Better they go to waist than go to waste, however.

3. Probably not the healthiest thing to eat frequently
I like duck, but only have it occasionally, due to it being so fatty.

4. Seems like they put a PC spin
on killing these birds.

Did the annoying geese honk during a golfer's putt, or shit on somebody's Lexus?
