Eating Canada Goose... gross, or good idea?
Today, Jian talked to Jackson Landers, who argues the solution to the overpopulation of Canada Geese is to hunt them and eat them.
As natural predators disappear, many communities in North America are dealing with large numbers of the birds. They are blamed for fouling rivers, lakes and beaches. A large flock of them even brought down an airplane in New York City.
Last year, authorities in New York culled more than 150,000 of the birds. Their carcasses went to landfill. But this year, the goose meat will go to feed needy people in Pennsylvania.
What do you think? Should geese be culled? Are they fit for human consumption? Give us some food for thought.
