Greenwich Has Already Killed 20 Canada Geese But Didn't Bother to Tell the Public

First Greenwich's health director wrote in an official government document that Canada geese were a health threat in her town even though she knew -- or should have known -- that there was no evidence to back up that assertion, which she was using to justify the town's application to kill 200 geese.

Now, according to the Greenwich Time, she has revealed that Greenwich has already gone ahead and had 20 geese kiiled -- gassed, last year.

Neither Caroline Calderone Baisley nor anyone else in town government told anyone:

"Why would I bother (publicizing it)?" she said.


Exactly. Especially when she could be sure that a large number of people might oppose it on the grounds that the reason she gave is false.

I wonder if the town's first selectman, Jim Lash, mentioned the killings when he heard from these constituents?
