Editor,

Foster City Council should show compassion for geese and find a way to accomplish their objective of a clean city without killing animals. Living a life of compassion and loving kindness is important especially for political leaders because they have control over the rest of us. We humans are a type of an animal too, and we need to demand that our political leaders treat us and other animals with compassion. Having clean cities for us humans to enjoy is great, but murdering those who create waste is morally wrong. All animals deserve compassion and to be treated only with love and caring.

So let me get this straight, you’re asking our local area to show compassion for geese when these “blue” folks are okay with killing babies, potentially post-term? You’re asking these same folks to show compassion when they want the ability to kill babies to be protected across our country? If murdering geese is morally wrong, how about murdering babies? Sorry, Rasa, you’re going to need to find a more cogent argument. However, if you’re really serious about saving geese, please get together with folks with the same mindset and create a pooper-scooper team. You may need to get moving sooner, rather than later, to show you can make a difference because depredation permits will likely be approved sooner, rather than later.

Abort the pregnant geese.
