From the Nanaimo News Bulletin:
Giving Canada Geese the bum’s rush off Nanaimo’s parks and sports fields appears to be working.
The city’s goose control program began in 2008 and Jim Plasteras, manager of parks operations, said the results have been successful.
“We’ve been getting some excellent reviews from not only staff, but user groups who are happy their players don’t have to slide around in goose poop,” he said.
Janet Laidlaw and her six-year-old border collie, Sprite, make the rounds of city parks and fields, with the dog working on command to chase the birds away.

In Vancouver, Sheena Staples, who rescues border collies, said the animal rescue community is outraged.
“There’s a big rescue community here and they network well. We’re only a couple of hours away and they said they tried to find homes but they didn’t try very hard because no one had heard about this until it was too late,” said Staples.
Border collies, like sled dogs, are working breeds and are more difficult to find homes for, Staples said, but it’s not impossible. Sled dogs are challenging because they like to follow a scent, get bored easily and can be very good escape artists. But Staples said they are also incredibly loyal and bright.
“What has been very difficult for many of us in rescue groups to hear is someone in the profession say they’ve used these dogs and now they need to go because they’re no longer useful to me,” said Staples.
TDBCR Founder Sheena is interviewed by the Toronto Star after 100 sled dogs are killed in Whistler.
