Letter to the editor: Goose/duck hunt at Mammoth park inhumane
The beautiful lake in Mammoth Park is now sterile. After a Westmoreland County Bureau of Parks and Recreation sanctioned goose and duck hunt that started Dec. 12 and ends Jan. 14 (the park is closed to all other use from sunrise to 9 a.m. Mondays and Wednesdays during this period), I have seen no more geese or ducks or swans in the lake.
Surely there is a more humane way to deal with the annoyance of their excrement. The bureau must stop the slaughter for sport and find a better way to accommodate visitors, both human and fowl.
