Ahead of a city council meeting Tuesday, protesters rallied to ask council members to reconsider a plan to euthanize a portion of the more than 300 geese that now permanently reside in Foster City.
"I know this is a really difficult decision for the city to make but we think there's got to be some alternative besides actually killing these poor animals," said Anthony Goblirsch, who lives in San Mateo. He says they are dealing with the same issue at their home and thought it was important to come to Foster City to protest the plan.
The city says that, despite the efforts, the goose population has basically doubled in the past two years. "There's always conversations about the dog poop out there and you know people don't pick that up, so what's the difference with the geese poop, I guess," said Ashley Weiss, a longtime Foster City resident.
This excessive concentration poses potential health risks to both Foster City residents and visitors/users of our parks and waterways. Lagoon water quality testing regularly shows high e.coli levels partly attributed to goose droppings among other factors, that have resulted in mandatory beach closures. By way of example, last year, Heal the Bay identified three Foster City beaches among the top 10 most polluted in California.
