Council members made the controversial decision back in March after several failed attempts to get rid of the geese population they say is out of control.
Some residents in one New Jersey town are outraged over a new plan to reduce the Canada goose population.
"While they are beautiful creatures, unfortunately, they create issues for us with a greater number of fecal matter droppings which pollute our walkways and benches, and also the fecal matter in our pond," said Mayor Mark Corigliano."The pond was created in 1920 and it is not natural for this species of birds which are indeed invasive," he said.
"Goslings have been seen who can't fly so the issue is, if we try to get them to fly away now, the parents won't leave the goslings behind," said Elizabeth Jonach."What they do is they round them up in a truck on site and they gas them with carbon dioxide, it takes 15-30 minutes to kill them and it's heartbreaking," Braun said.
