The towns people will get there but the situation has to get worse, much worse before reason trumps emotion (the geese are so cute, etc.). Only then will the town apply for a special permit to whack a bunch of the offenders. I think the great goose hunt will occur in 2016, maybe 2017.

The geese might make a nice Christmas dinner.

I read that the oldest known wild Canada Goose was 30 years 4 months old.
If no one does something about the Meredith geese, we may have them around for a long time!!
