Unconventional

And controversial, but given the current over population of Canada Geese, I think we could permit a small number of these birds to be hunted for food for charity meals as part of a social program benefitting folks in need.

Good intention but is it really doable?

I've heard they are not palatable due to their swampy diets, and it's hard to say what they have consumed in general. Then a catch and kill program would have to organized, an admin side re: a facility to process large numbers of wild birds, testing for viruses like avian flue or toxins from an unknown diet, cold storage and/or freezing, distribution channels to set up...

Plenty of sentient beings are slaughtered to feed humans. What's one more species?

Are you actually saying homeless and low income people should be eating geese?
Are you a complete moron ?
We are at the point of mass extinction of the all the world's animals. No one should be eating any animals or fishing or cutting down trees or dumping shit in the ocean.
It's utterly too late anyways and nobody cares.

Well I, uh, I'm not sure how you pronounce it or anything, but I, uh, I believe it's Foie Gras

... that in terms of donating wild meat you run into some problems, though I don't know. In a world of common sense, you go kill it, clean it, give it to the charity, but in the "real world" that pointy-haired MBAs live in, who knows...

I don't know when the open season is, but the bag limit is 10 a day or something, iirc. It's legal to hunt in the City, though using certain weapons may be prohibited, and it might...upset...the tourists. I am thinking a net, then you just, uh...well...you know...choke the chicken, or goose, in this case.
