Is that what manly men are into when they're not wandering the wilds of the golf course hunting tame geese beachbum2? Why even bother to shoot the things? Just take a few loaves of wonder-bread and a nine iron out there you big ole manly hunk of man you! Silly goose!

If we are going to shoot the geese as a method of population control then can we go to the ghetto’s and do the same? Just saying….

Shooting tame animals isn't really sport though. This is a stupid solution brought to us by our impotent leaders. Other towns use border collies to patrol their parks with an understanding that killing a flock of geese is less effective (they come back as soon as the smoke clears usually) than introducing a natural predator. There are other options as well if you take a minute to research it. I used to be a frequent visitor to Burns Park. I have encountered people having sex in cars, on the trails, smoking marijuana, buying and selling drugs, dumping trash and animals, and tossing their cigarettes and used prophylactics all over the park. Perhaps I have a different perspective but these activities were much more disturbing than some goose poop. Oh and even though I enjoy hunting (WILD) animals with a tampon firmly in place and my nails painted pink and glittery, I'm anything but a pansy. :)

Really are you people kiddin me...you'll line up and pay to kill a unborn child....you kill dogs and cats by the Dozens right there in the park.....and your Griping about the Geese...wake up people don't drink the liberal pita communist kool-aid...

Toasteroven: I love that point of view too. Yeah I agree along with the geese hunt, keep the park open and anyone you see who is remotely trash, shoot them too!

Have the people that don't want to kill geese adopt 10 or 20 of them. Let the geese poop all over your yard, eat your grass so you have nothing left but sand, increase the diseases they can cause, have them attack or bite your visitors/kids! Enjoy!! I live with this problem but I can't do anything about it because we have neighbors that feed them! If we can oil the the eggs that would be great but I don't see it happening. You haven't lived unless you count about 70 of them walking by your house in the summer. When we walk, we have to side-step the poop along the way! The geese are a deterrant (sp) to possible home buyers. Who wants geese invading your property?? You hunt deer why not geese?? You kill dogs and cats at the pound and yet geese are off limits?? Go figure!! We are not the only state that has this problem so report about what other states do to remedy the problem. The geese were once an endangered species but they are not anymore so kill the geese and give the meat to our most precious gift, the children that don't have enough to eat!

To call this heinous crime against nature a hunt is not only a travesty it's ludicrous ! this is a sanctioned canned killing spree for losers who couldn't muster up the miniscule amount of skill to actually stalk and harvest wild water fowl. These people would crap themselves with glee after destroying duck decoy's, patting themselves on their humped backs and declaring " Duh, we be hunners, we kill dem birdies Duh" What's next North Little Rock, packaged hunting safari's to Tyson chicken farms where dorks can shoot domesticated chickens with shotguns. Good thing the Zoo is in Little Rock or they'd be bow hunting prairie dogs and howler monkeys in their respective exhibits

So let me get this straight. All sorts of trashy people can use Burns Park to fornicate and buy and sell drugs and that's acceptable. Geese who are fed and encouraged to stay in the park do what comes naturally and deserve to die. Yeah that seems logical. Save the geese but rid the park of the (human) trash.

The goose only know burns park as there home. I would hate to think that I was in a safe place that I have been all my life and fed and loved by humans and then all of a sudden those same humans would run in and start killing my family.

Why are people opposed to this? This is the SAME thing as hunting for deer every season, so how is this any different. Typical liberal BS!
