Geese are a terrible nusiance these days.

 

[littleguy]

I hate geese they crap all over the place and it drives me nuts

 

[fishman830]

6.. i thought maybe somone killed them perfectly.. they were in a nice little formation.. must've been a truck.... i mean.. they were all dead within about a 2 foot proximity of each other.. it was freakin gross..
intestines were hanging out, just guts... all over, feathers as if somone had blown up a feather pillow

 

[fishman830]

this corner.. has had 3 skunks, 2 wood chucks and now 6 geese since like mid june
the thing that keeps playing in my mind is what htey must've looked like after they got hit.. you know like sittign there in agony... pain.. their belly's open their feet mangled.. contorted...

those things are nasty i wouldn't want to hit one but it was good you cleaned them up but the are a big nusiance a pond behind my house is so nasty full of geese crap nothing can go near it now

In defense of your local PD, cleaning up road kill should not be something you want them doing. However, if you told them there was a hazard, they probably would have gotten them off the road. If we see a potential hazard such as this we should take the intiative to deal with it ourselves as long as it can be done safely.

On public roads it is the responsiblity of either the Highway department or the sanitation department to remove animal corpses. Not the police department unless there is an immediate threat to people in the area. Conversely live animals are the responsiblity of the local DNR or wildlife agency.

Really that is how it works out here. I work for the game and fish.
Edit: I quess it really does depend on the area.

 

[tony detroit]

By me, usually if there is an animal control officer, (usually based out of the p.d.) then they usually get the dead dogs, etc.

 

[fishman830]

but still.. there coulda been an accident.. a lot of people go throught that road

 

[fishman830]

personally i like ducks more

Sadly, it's not there job but there is *like in my err small city* there's a traffic control that will drive the roads and fix lights, take the animals, etc.
Actually, three nights ago i was deliverying pizza when a racoon ran in my way, i thought i missed it but on the drive back i saw it there, barly breathing. I get back call all these numbers and they tell me to call the pd...
so i do and they say they'll contact the DEP and they'll send someone over to see if it's deceased or not. So, once i hang up *i was off of work* i drive back there, pull over and start walking back to the racoon and there's ANOTHER one. I run back to mycar, there's blood on my tire and i freak ou cuz like, it was not there before and i must of hit ANOTHER one, but this one was walking to see the other racoon. SO granted, i called the pd again and reported it and then contacted my sister who THEN called the pd to try to get the DEP number and a cop pulls over thinking i have a break down and then HE reports it and then i hear them papa viniger, something, keeps sending out 211's and they took my license and in the end, they were pretty pissed at me.

 

[fishking]

if u think geese r a nusciance try livin here were there are tons of deer

 

[bang guy]

I think I got ya beat for deer... LOL

 

[marvida]

Here's what black cow in the middle of the night can do.......oh yeah, & at high speed.

 

[killafins]

they took it down, I THINK, because they were contacted 3 times for a racoon, i dunno. It was the worst night alive, i like couldn't sleep

 

[rbmount]

They just lowered the speed limit in town ( NO advance notice given anywhere) to 25. Funny the P.D. renovation is over. The bad thing they were advised to write warnings, but no it's tickets all around. Gotta pay for the P.D. somehow.
