There is a petition to stop the shooting of Canada Geese at Reddish Vale Country Park. A local farmer says the geese are damaging his fields used for horse grazing. We understand that there is a problem with the numbers of Canada Geese in The Vale, but there are more humane ways of dealing with the problem. The geese are being shot within the parks boundarys and in full view of visitors. The council says there is nothing they can do to stop it as the farmer is doing nothing wrong. If you would like to sign the online petition see, www.reddishvale.moonfruit.com if you click on the message board there is a red button 'Geese Shooting' and this will take you to the petition.
