The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) is waging a war against America's Canada Geese. Numerous recent round-ups and mass killings of these gentle birds have sparked outrage.

Please take action by contacting Secretary Tom Vilsack today at AgSec@USDA.gov or 202-720-3631 and ask him to immediately end the slaughter of Canada Geese.

This is how they are baited and gassed:

The aggressive plan is a reaction to the crash of US Airways Flight 1549 last year.

Earlier this month, 400 geese in Prospect Park were euthanized and the U.S. Department of Agriculture has been removing the birds from several locations near JFK and LaGuardia Airports.
