SHAWANO, WI (WTAQ)- Geese in Shawano will be the topic of a public discussion tonight.
It could be a large crowd tonight, as many plan to speak out to save the geese.To prevent the geese from leaving messes in city parks, the Park and Rec Committee is looking at the possibility of euthanizing them, but that is not sitting well with many people.
“I think there are options that they have not tried yet.”
Jeff O’Brein, a sportsman in Shawano says he will try to help the committee come up with one of those non-lethal options.
Park and Rec Director Matt Hendricks says he is open to options that the community has, but they have already tried some of the ideas that other communities are using.
“We will wait until after the meeting to make any decision.”
O’Brein says that could include lasers, moving already placed decoys or implementing already failed measures in a different way.
The issue is also expected to go to council once a decision is made.
