1. Goose Visitor.
We have been in contact with the Animal Rescue League of Boston representative for this area.
A little explanation on organizational responsibilities. When Friends of the White Geese became aggressively involved on the Charles River, Reen Littlebrook, a native American living in the nearby Allston Neighborhood of Boston was their best friend. He functioned as that for about ten years.
He got a bicycle. The second day he used the bicycle he wound up in the hospital, followed by a nursing home, followed by continuing recuperation at home. FOWG took over his responsibilities for several months. We then created a totally separate tax-exempt organization for that purpose, the Charles River Urban Wilds Initiative. They have done the feeding and care ever since. It has been necessary because of the continuing and accelerating heartless animal abuse by the Cambridge City Council and the Department of Conservation and Recreation.
CRUWI does an excellent job, but are at their maximum. People interested in helping should visit the goose meadow, their Destroyed Nesting Area, and say hello to CRUWI members feeding the geese. FEEDING BY HUMANS IS ESSENTIAL BECAUSE OF THE DELIBERATE STARVATION BY THE CAMBRIDGE CITY COUNCIL AND DCR. Offer to help in the necessary activities in response to the continuing and accelerating reprehensible government behavior.
Here is a photo of Littlebrook feeding the geese. We arranged a meeting with MassDOT on their activities in the area. We invited him. He happily came and very happily visited with his friends.
ARL has been in the Back Bay Fens looking for the visiting white goose. They have spotted her and will pick her up this week to provide care and RESPONSIBLE adoption management.
In the meantime, the visiting goose has an excellent goosedown jacket. Her big problem is human and dog predators. Hopefully she will keep in a safe location until ARL can pick her up.
2. Cambridge City Council nonsense.
I put my post in the form of a letter to the Cambridge City Council and delivered it to them Monday night along with comments pointing out the contents which were place on the record.
An added horror was an initiative by the Cambridge City Council to research the use of the city’s golf course. Given the reprehensible behavior of the Cambridge City Council on the Charles River and at Alewife and way too many other locations,, such an action is highly scary and I said so, going point by point to my post as example.
