...to not agree to this slaughter?

Maybe not the right place to air this but I'd like to drum up as much support !

save our geese

Lol.. I did say that were I NOT one, I'd support a human cull.... but I AM one so obviousy I wouldn't.

That isn't the same as supporting human genoside... even though we are grossly overpopulating the planet and fucking it up.

I still have children and drive a car.

Twas lighthearted.

Why do people care if they are causing damage? That kind of statement REALLY pisses me off.

Well because if you care about wildlife, then you recognise that introduced species can cause a great deal of damage to our finely balanced (and often struggling under the pressures imposed upon it by humans) ecosystems. If you don't want to see endangered native wildlife disappearing forever, then you need to care about the damage that alien species (grey squirrels, American crayfish etc) are doing!

OP you are totally daft! Of course they have to be culled, or the next thing you will be whining about is something the (excessive population of) Canada Geese are totally gobbling.

Exactly Crabby... not just alien species though. We need farms, farms create inbalance, we need to redress that balance every now and then to protect what's left of the wild, if that means even an indigenous species has overpopulated an area which could massive damage to the balance, then we have a responsibility to sort it.

I am very much a human being, a modern one at that, a meat eating, electricity using, car driving one... but I also acknowledge our responsibility to preserve and protect our ecosystems.

Canadian geese are forrin, make a shitload of shit, and chase British ducks and geese off their habitats. They are just big, flying grey squirrels.

They are being culled. that happens. The deer in parkland not far from me are culled or else there would be too many of them.

Goose and venison are both nice (prefer venison though)
