Greenwich Reconsidering Goose Hunt

Greenwich might be pulling back from its plan to kill Canada geese. Animal rights activists and environmentalists (which of course are not the same thing) met with Greenwich officials to persuade them to try a non-lethal control method.

The Greenwich Time has a follow-up to earlier stories. But it lets the town and the state DEP off the hook by not raising the question of why officials said in their application to kill the birds that the geese were a health threat when the officials knew, or should have known, that there was no evidence to support that assertion.
