Fancy Canadian geese for your Christmas dinner?

Reporter Community News

Having Canadian geese for your Christmas roast could be the solution needed to deal with 200 of the birds polluting a Kāpiti Coast lake.
The geese are depositing up to 400 kilograms of poop into Awatea Lake, and a local resident wants the geese culled and their meat used to feed the poor.
Geoff Amos says locals are fed-up with the mess created by the geese and he has organised a petition.
Chef Martin Bosley supported the idea of turning the geese into a food source.
“I think it is a better option for our Christmas table than turkey to be honest.”
