A concerned citizens group has formed in the wake of the June 29 culling of about 300 Canada geese in Ocean Pines.
Dubbed “The Ocean Pines Geese and Ecology Brain Trust Initiative: Securing a Balance,” the group plans to meet publicly for the first time on Thursday, Aug. 16 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at the Ocean Pines library on 11107 Cathell Road.
According to a release from Chairwoman Mary Deborah Wilson, “Residents of this community were unaware of the geese confiscation until the action had occurred … in the wee hours of the morning. As a result, there has been much contention and various emotions about the circumstance within this and surrounding communities in Worcester County MD. It is important to channel those responses into action.
“The mission will be to establish best practices in balancing community, geese, and ecological needs in the region based on facts not opinions,” Wilson said in the release. “I plan to request meeting attendance from experts in veterinarian medicine, ministers, water quality, ornithology, lawyers, and political representatives.”
She said the initial meeting would create subgroups “that develop pertinent recommendations and strategies.”
“If you are motivated, persistent, and interested in this initiative, we want you!” Wilson said. “Welcoming any interested parties to attend.”

Rich white people problems.....
ReplyDeleteif you are worried about the geese we can load up a bunch of them from Salisbury and bring them to you
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'll help ya do it!
DeleteFormed by a group of people that also trap defenseless crabs a remove them from their families.. then ran them in a crowded wooden basket... then dump them into a pot of hot steam that smells like beer and old bay untill they a fully cooked..
ReplyDeleteMy opinion is... suck it up people... unless yu are a vegan.. shut you mouths.. it's just a goose..ie..Dinner...
Geese Lives Matter!
ReplyDeleteIf you don't want the geese around, why did you move in their environment? There is a very easy solution and the geese can survive in their environment, You move to where you left. That is the problem on the Shore everybody wants to live here, but when they get here they want to change the Shore environment to suit them instead of leaving it alone. Just like the illegals, they want to come to America then they want to change us to suit them. An old slogan says it all "LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT"
ReplyDeleteIf only people had time and money to help save an unborn child from abortion! About 100,000 a day worldwide!. They care more about those worm infested flying rats being killed! I could raise five grand in an hour for a lost dog reward and yet the murder innocent of Babies goes unmentioned and unacknowledged as if God is blind!!! You will be judged!
ReplyDeletePut your stormwater ponds underground.
ReplyDeleteHabitat gone.
Problem solved.
OMG these people are nuts! These geese are filthy vermin that will overtake your space if you don'y control them
ReplyDeleteHopefully the residents of Ocean Pines will learn something.
ReplyDeleteThat's an easy one. When goose season gets her shoot them.
ReplyDeleteGet a life
ReplyDeleteMaybe those concerned citizens should buy a farm and start raising their own geese. I think it is a big improvement to get rid of the filthy flocks, increasing in size, and polluting the ponds, etc. Ocean Pines is not a goose farm.
ReplyDeleteNow there's a few people with way too much time on their hands. Let them go out and pick up all the goose poop from their neighborhoods, and maybe the geese won't have to be removed. I bet that's not one of their "solutions." The problem is goose poop. How are they going to propose a solution to that?
ReplyDeleteI have an idea, trap the geese and send those aliens who have overstayed their time back to Canada live and let the Canadians deal with them.
ReplyDeleteI do believe that there's a better way to control
ReplyDeletethe population of the geese and I admire this person
for finding out Everything she can about the matter.
Good Luck to you and your Committee! Keep Joe in-
