SAVE THE DATE, BUT IN THE MEANTIME, TAKE ACTION!
Riverside Cemetery is granting the USDA access to their property to
round up and gas the geese. The cemetery CAN deny the USDA access and use nonlethal solutions.
Animal Protection League of NJ has been attempting to speak with someone at the cemetery to discuss nonlethal solutions that will permanently deter the geese from their property but we have not received a return call or reply to an email.
Please call the office at 201-843-7600. Also, email the following:
President: Michelle Blacksberg
Vice President: Kenneth Studer
Grounds Superintendent: Roy Singh
Tell Riverside Cemetery to deny the USDA access and stop killing the geese. Ask them to work with Animal Protection League of NJ on nonlethal geese solutions.
The gassing of geese occurs one day during the molt period - which is every year from mid-June to early July. At this time the geese lose their flight feathers, becoming flightless. The USDA is hired to round up the geese during the molt period whereupon they are shoved, alive, into a gas chamber and gassed to death. It takes 15 minutes before the geese suffocate and die. This is the highest level of animal cruelty.
