Denver, Colorado has a growing goose problem. The city also has hundreds of people who can't afford food. So, they've found a solution for both that PETA likely won't be happy with!
There are an estimated 5,000 geese living in the city, which has been trying to manage its goose population for more than 15 years. The city says the birds have led to "increased human-wildlife conflicts in parks, vegetation destruction, sanitation concerns, poor water quality, and other maintenance challenges."
The program started this month because the geese are at their most vulnerable: They molt around June and July and can't fly.
The USDA will conduct the roundups and help regulate whether the meat is suitable for human consumption, Denver Parks and Recreation said. The agencies hope to donate the meat to "charitable organizations and wildlife rehabilitation facilities."
