LETTERS TO THE EDITOR | A reminder for goose lovers


June 19, 2012 · Updated 1:32 PM 

To the editor:

I’m happy the Honeymoon Lake geese have been saved. Now I hope that the 700-plus people who signed the petition to keep the geese alive feel strongly enough about protecting birds that they keep their cats indoors or let them out only when chaperoned. Cats kill hundreds of millions of birds each year and also chipmunks, squirrels, rabbits, snakes, frogs and native rodents.
