The city said it’s a public health risk since the poop-dotting sidewalks and waterfronts have increased the level of E. coli in the city waterways.
The issue has been met with protests from animal advocates. Even using new laser systems to shoo the birds away.
“All of the non-lethal methods they took, they didn’t really do them right or well,” said geese advocate Erik Allen. “I was devastated to hear the news,” said Lisa Levinson, campaigns director of In Defense of Animals. The animal protection league of New Jersey announced it is offering to pay for a non-lethal goose removal program for Foster City. Anything to stop the killing.
“We had about 15,000 people send in letters to the Foster City Council, and encourage them to try non-lethal means,” said Levinson. “So what they’re doing is going against public opinion.” NBC Bay Area reached out to the city to find out when the geese might be removed and have not heard back.
