Goose Down Clubbers

1. Introduction.

1. Introduction.

On the Charles River White Geese facebook page we have a go round with a woman who has a problem with anti-goose behavior by her Home Owners Association, and we have been sharing ways to resolve the problem.

This site is not really appropriate for that situation, but Archie Mazmanian’s comment certainly is.

My comment from the Charles River White Geese facebook page follows, transmitting for him.

2. Archie Mazmanian on attacks on animals.

Archie Mazmanian responds to Lauren’s comment with the following, sent by him awhile back and also applicable to her situation.

GOOSE-DOWN CLUBBERS

BREAKING NEWS!

MA and Cambridge government officials expressed their horror that the Charles River White Geese were being clubbed by hunters for their goose-down feathers, currently in great demand for pillows, apparel and other comforting uses. “Horrible!” “Deplorable!” “Despicable!” vented these officials. “These barbarous hunters must be stopped!” “This cruelty must stop!”

No, the preceding did not happen. Yet the conduct of MA and Cambridge officials is accomplishing the demise of the Charles River White Geese by means less transparent than clubbing. The goal of these officials is not goose-down but putting the geese down by more subtle means than clubbing because they just don’t want the Charles River White Geese there below the northerly side of the BU Bridge. The Goose Ghetto will apparently be continued to be squeezed until this goal is achieved. While the Charles River White Geese survive, they do not thrive.

So perhaps we should picture these MA and Cambridge government officials yielding clubs. What’s the difference?

3. Analysis.

If you go through the fine print and secret definitions, Cambridge and MA quite simply have contempt for animals.

They are killing off all resident animals on the Charles River basin.

But they do do a lot of creative lying to give decent humans the exact opposite impression.
