Re: Bob Kronbauer: Vancouver's park board wants you to hate geese as much as they do

Dear Editor

As a matter of principle I don't use the word 'hate' as part of my vocabulary nor do I have hatred toward anyone. 

However, as an exception, I have a vindictive evil passionate hatred for Canada Geese and if I can legally get one into my oven with the right combination of herbs and spices served with some 'real Canajun' sides of sweet potatoes, corn and some stuffing with wild rice straight from the prairies I would invite my best friends over for a wonderful meal to celebrate the demise of one of these nasty feathered freaks. 

About four years ago I was violently attacked by three Canada Geese who stalked me in the park honking for food perhaps or maybe they just didn't like me. I was left with bruises and a sore back and shoulders for weeks after and ever since then I've dreamed of my sweet and yummy revenge. 

So if there is any legal way to harvest one of these birds I've got a turkey roaster and all the ingredients in my kitchen and I'm a fabulous cook if I say so myself and some of my friends would agree as well. 

Bon appetit y'all who might be hungry for some wild. I'm sure that even Martha would be proud if my 'dinner dreams' come true. 

Leslie Benisz, Vancouver
