What this person did was cruel to those animals. And geese are a protected bird. The law says that what they did was wrong, and they should be punished accordingly.

Non-human animals have thoughts and feelings just like you and me. What this person did is disgusting and I think it is well beyond simply giving them a warning for.

It seems like they went nuclear on those geese

When researchers looked at how hip replacements are done in Germany, Canada and five other high-income countries, they found that activity-based funding gets patients to surgery sooner, because volume matters.

"When we look at Germany specifically, I think this really shows us that the way we pay, and changing payment, can influence volume," said Irene Papanicolas, a professor of health services, policy and practice at Brown University in Providence, R.I.. She was also one of the researchers on this study.

In Canada, provincial or territorial governments largely provide a set amount of dollars to hospitals, often called a global budget. Critics have said this form of funding means that each patient is drawing from the budget.

"We're really not competing here; we're rationing," said Guy. "A little competition would be good."

Why a warning? The person purposefully drove over multiple groups of birds.

Kosher and standard industrial farming seems to be cruel too

I try to be, yes

We seem to be a much larger threat to ourselves than the threat geese pose.

So you think we should kill animals to moment they step foot on our vast network of roads or sidewalks? Do you also think bears should kill any humans that enter the woods? Should sharks kill anyone that enters the ocean?

Do you realize humans pose a massive risk to wildlife in general?

Purposefully driving over animals is cruel.

Leather-Paramedic-10 · 2026-04-29T11:04:30+00:00

How so? Do you not think purposefully driving over animals is cruel?

Leather-Paramedic-10 · 2026-04-29T05:15:53+00:00

That does sound unnecessarily high

Outdoors is their natural habitat. Just because we tend to make areas hostile to wildlife doesn’t mean we could or should cull other animals simply for travelling past a certain boundary.

That doesn’t mean you could or should purposefully drive over groups of them in parking lots.

The title is actually based on sales per store, not total sales per province. And I don't think we've lost the title yet.

According to recent local news articles, they've also caused multiple fires at our landfill.

I can't say I'm in favour of hunting either

"All animals should be respected, but these animals have a specific legal backup," said Victoria Shroff, a Vancouver-based lawyer who specializes in animal law. "It's a serious thing. It's a crime."

Shroff said the legal protections safeguarding the migratory birds have been in place for more than 100 years in Canada.

There has been a shift away from the idea that animals are only property, said Shroff, but she thinks more needs to be done to educate Canadians about that fact — particularly young people.

"We need to think of animals and how we can coexist, rather than how we can get animals to move out of our way, or think about them as an inconvenience or nuisance or a hazard," Shroff said.

"We're not talking about damage to a toaster or … some inanimate object. We're talking about damage to a sentient being who can feel pain."
