If we are going on natural behavior alone then it should be fine to have a polar bear live under your front porch and hunt your children for food. After all they are one of the only natural predators of humans. But I think it is best to separate humans and polar bears so why not separate canadian geese and outdoor recreation areas?
If someone pooped in my front yard, I would have them arrested so why should we have to live with hundreds of geese doing the same thing?
Most people would have no problem with Canadian geese, if they actually migrated and maintained there natural ways but they now take up residence everywhere there is a body of water with a nicely mowed lawn near by and stay there for 12 months a year. A lot of people like to walk thru parks, yards or front porches without having to tip-toe around goose poop. So many places are so overrun with them that it's almost impossible to look around and not see them or signs of them in places that should be relaxing refuges!
Caribou still migrate to the artic so why can Canadian Geese not do the same? They have an added advantage: It's called flight!
