Sandpoint Evicts Geese From Beach
Item: Sandpoint evicts gaggle of geese from beach /AP
More Info: City officials in Sandpoint have teamed up with an animal hospital to lure a gaggle of belligerent geese away from a local public beach. Dr. Robert Pierce of North Idaho Animal Hospital says all but two of the nearly 50 domesticated geese have been removed from City Beach and adopted by local farms. The Sandpoint City Council has long fielded beach user complaints over the geese, which have proven aggressive and leave behind droppings that besides being messy, can carry salmonella and E. coli bacteria.
Question: Are you bothered by the geese on City Beach and North Idaho College Beach. Should Coeur d’Alene city officials figure out a way to remove them, too?
