I saw a truck pulling out of Janesville's Traxler Park this morning and read on the back, "Geese Police". Upon getting closer it also had written, "Caution: Border Collies on board". Pulling next to him at a stoplight, I saw written on the passenger door, "Get the flock out of here."
I realized that we had geese problems here, especially at this time of year, but enough to spawn a business? He operated out of Whitewater and didn't have the appearance of a starving artist. Canine capitalism.
Much better than just a bumper sticker.

Heh! Are you sure he wasn't freelancing? A lot of people really dislike the geese in the Janesville parks including me.
One day I was riding through Memorial park on the bike trail. Well, I have a bad habit of riding on the slanted concrete at the edge of the water because there is a lot less slimy geese dropping there.
Anyway there was a few geese on the upper bank that decided to make a run for the water right in front of me.
Well they didn't have enought time, and neither did. I couldn't make a sharp turn up the slant (about 45 degrees), and I sure as hell wasn't going to dump the bike or go into the water.
Damn, I hit one. Made me a bit sick and I felt bad at the time, but thats one less goose to deal with. :o)
Sandi the Gooseslayer,
I was talking to another friend and he had read something about this guy being hired to drive them out of Traxler Park. I remember at one time they were debating using blank filled shotguns to scare them off, etc.
I know a local police department has their number on file because they saw the truck, but I don't believe they've employed his services. Yet.
