Geese cull in Palmie, what about doing it in Kāpiti?
The Palmerston North City Council is shooting Canada geese to reduce numbers.
Palmerston North City Council parks manager Kathy Dever-Tod said some residents would be upset that the culls were to continue, but the council had thoroughly investigated all options.
She said Canada geese were invasive and their aggressive personalities deterred many people, especially young families, from using local parks.
What about doping it in Kāpiti, where geese are a major problem?

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
