The City Council should be aware that once geese have moved into an 
area, they generally don't migrate out, and they almost always cause 
problems with copious amounts of solid waste deposited wherever they 
go. Moscow's sidewalks are already sufficiently challenging with 
cracks, tree root growths, ground heaves, and, in the winter, snow 
and ice. Adding slippery, slimy, smelly goose goo is an unnecessary 
additional urban challenge.

And that is even without considering the prospect of home-grown, 
over-stuffed, pâté de foie gras on any menu at any price.
