When a Government Not Only Condones Murder – but Protects the Murderers

This is exactly what happened in Delavan, Wisconsin today June 30, 2010. There were some 200 geese living on the lake committing the greatest crime they could – sh1tting… These geese were considered a nuisance by some members of the community, but not by all. In fact some people stood up to fight for them. I am proud to know Rebecca who spearheaded this fight. Not only was a humane solution suggested, but volunteers were ready to do much so more. This wasn’t good enough for Dorothy Burwell town chair of Delavan or park supervisor Herb Sessner.

I spoke to Dorothy on the phone and she, being such a humanitarian, said the massacred geese would be given to the food bank to feed the poor. She assured me she is a “real” animal lover who even spent $1000 on a rescue cat. Imagine that, spending $1000 on a rescue cat and then condoning the killing of 200 innocent geese…what a hypocrite! Comes to find out that the city spent somewhere near $4000 of taxpayers money to kill the geese. That’s about $20 per goose from what I imagine. I guess a couple of boxes of mac and cheese wouldn’t be enough. But since Dorothy is the ever-humanitarian, perhaps she can volunteer to de-feather the geese and cook them up in her kitchen and have these poor people of Delavan over for a big feast.

The idea was to whittle down the numbers so that the humans could enjoy the lake without too much poop. Well, these human will be walking on bloody soil today instead of feces. All 200 geese were massacred today under the cloak of the USDA, which by the way condones puppy-mills and has allowed its fair share of tainted e-coli meat and produce to kill American citizens.

For those who tried to stop the killing, they were met by police officers that held the them back. Sort of reminds me of Nazi Germany.

All I can say is that Ms. Dorothy Burwell and Park Committee Supervisor Herb Sessner are murderers whose hands drip the blood of innocent animals. I only wish someone would dump the carcass of these 200 dead geese in their front yards. They are sad excuses for human beings and have no compassion for life other than there own. Dorothy’s blatant lies and circle logic should buy her an e-ticket out of office and I would hope no one would ever elect her to office ever again. For that matter, I would hope she would feel the pain she inflicted on these innocent animals.

I applaud Rebecca and all of the people that stood up for the fight. One goose survived. May her life be a testament to the massacred others, and may we one day live in a world where all animals have a right to be free, not only the animals with the biggest guns.

Response about the Geese

Here is the response I received today from Dorothy:

Please accept my apologies for not reply earlier. Contrary to what many think, I have also received many comments supporting our position. Many view this as a health issue. With the support of staff at Lakeland Animal Shelter, I am hopeful that we can educate many people in prevention methods so that this does not ever happen again.

We do not wish to eradicate any animal or bird but simply get the number to a manageable level and feed some needy people.

Here is my response to her response:


Dear Dorothy,

I am very disappointed at your decision and am perplexed by the many inconsistencies in your statements / position. The animal shelter of your own city does not support your decision, nor do many of the people of your township. Furthermore, if you follow the will of the people to do something that is so clearly wrong, you are no more than a puppet at the hands of those who pull the strings. Righteousness is reserved for those who often times make unpopular decisions.

Your statement of feeding needy people with 200 geese that your city is paying close to $4000 to kill is a bit ludicrous. If they are a "health issue" do you feel that it is a wise decision to feed this to needy people? Couldn't the $4000 be better spent to buy some meals for these people and the geese spared.

In either case, you've made your decision and I'm certain that you will feel the implications of your decisions in the strong disapproval of not only those in your community, but also many more that are aware of the terrible thing you are doing.

I sincerely thought after our conversation that you were reasonable and may sway to an ethical decsision. Imagine my disappointment after I believed you spent all that money to save 1 cat and won't stand up for 200 geese. To those who believe a life is a life, its a position of hypocrisy.


Sincerely,

My Letter to the Delavan Township

Dear Dorothy - Dear Herb,

I have been made aware of the decision your town has made to kill the geese dwelling near the Delavan lake.  I must say that I am shocked and saddened by such a heartless act and can find no excuse for such an inhumane decision.

The fact that millions of animals are dying needlessly a few thousand miles away because of human error makes this decision of yours even more preposterous.  I have read the letter presented to you by Kristen Perry offering a very valid solution to your "problem."  Why this plan was rejected confuses me.  Is the need to eradicate an animal from your city so necessary that it must be exterminated?  Isn't it worth it to try option A, before stepping through to option B.

This decision has been well publicized on facebook as well as other social networking sites, and I am hoping that many citizens will stand up and stand between your workers and the geese.  This event will get serious attention and very negative press for anyone involved in the decision.  I strongly urge you to reconsider your decision and opt for a humane solution to this problem.  This decision is not only inhumane, but will cost tax payers money when a volunteer driven program is available. 

I am making this letter to you public on my blog at www.boundangels.org and am encouraging others to speak up for the animals and against your decision.

I welcome a conversation with you at any time.

Giving a voice to animals,

Robert Cabral

Delavan Township in Wisconsin to Murder Wild Geese

As if its not bad enough with all of the animals being killed in the Gulf Oil Crisis, Delavan Township is setting out to kill the Canada geese which they claim are a nuisance. The primary concern is the =droppings, that these "droppings" impose an inconvenience on the "humans" who which to enjoy the park.... OK, maybe a point to be taken - not a good one, but a point.

Well, a committee presented the council with a proposal of volunteers that would step up and clean the park and even developed a plan to minimize the population in a humane way. What is the Town Councils decision? MURDER. You gotta love governments that condone murdering animals! Who the fuck votes there? I certainly hope that each and every one of these people is voted out and that they feel the repercussions. They say their decisions are made based on health issues.

Please check this link:

And if you're on facebook, join their cause. This makes me sick and angry at the same time. If you are local, I would say get there and stand in the way, you will be removed, but stand their anyway. I don't suggest anything violent, I suggest getting in the way and making the job of murder a little more difficult physically since its obviously not morally difficult for these morons. I also suggest video taping it and spreading the word that this is not ok.

Also, here is the contact info to voice your opinion.
