Editor,

Rather than worry about the contamination of 323 geese, we should instead focus on the thousands of residents of Foster City and the toxic run-off of fertilizers and pesticides from their lawns, gardens and driveways (“Foster City concerned about geese population” in the Aug. 23 edition of the Daily Journal).

Actually, Ms. Marsico, some of the toxic run-off may be due to geese excrement on these lawns, gardens and driveways. I think the real concern is whether Mr. Hindi can recruit community volunteers to help clean up geese remains. I think he may find more volunteers willing to help control the geese population. Maybe a participation fee for those so inclined for a hunt, a prize for the most poundage, a veritable geese-fest dinner celebration for participants and their families? Money for the city, some money for participants, a feast for families, fewer geese, less excrement. Win-win-win-win-win? Except for the geese, but that’s the goal.
