Overview: During the recent Bayonne City Council meeting, attention was given to the controversial USDA contract for the lethal management of Canada geese, as well as various redevelopment initiatives. Public comments were dominated by the contentious issue of the USDA’s involvement in gassing geese, with several residents and representatives from the Animal Protection League of New Jersey voicing their opposition. Pamela Stur, a representative who was not a Bayonne resident, expressed her disapproval of the practice, characterizing it as inhumane due to reports that gassing can take up to 45 minutes. Stur suggested that habitat modification could be a more cost-effective and humane alternative. Dorene Frager, also from the Animal Protection League, provided data on the number of geese killed across city parks and urged for non-lethal methods. She stated, “Killing has not and will not solve Bayonne’s conflict with geese.”
