Interestingly enough, plenty of Canada Goose poison exists on the shelf of your local internet.... oh but probably also Walmart.

"Works on Turkeys and Ducks too!"
But the real poison, is inside the dirty gray goose itself. As if the TWO POUNDS OF SHIT he squeezes out daily was not enough, it is also HORRIFYINGLY TOXIC!
Salmonelli and Ecoli are the special ingredients in their gaggle of feces. There's also some Chamydia in there too! According to the CDC, the feces of Canada geese ALSO contains an insidious batch of antimicrobial super bacteria.
"Canada Geese (Branta canadensis) (Figure) populations have steadily increased in the past 50 years and have become a nuisance in some areas (4,5). The large amount of feces produced by geese congregating around surface water bodies is a source of environmental contamination and, potentially, zoonotic pathogens (4–7). Feces from large flocks are major contributors to fecal coliform levels in reservoirs that supply drinking water for some cities (5,6), and free-living bird populations can serve as reservoirs for pathogenic bacteria such as Salmonella (8,9), Escherichia coli (10), Campylobacter (10,11), Listeria (11), and Chlamydia (9). Thus, wild bird populations can amplify and eventually transmit infectious microbes to humans by directly contaminating agricultural fields or surface waters used for drinking, recreation, or crop irrigation. Free-living and domestic bird populations can also be reservoirs of drug-resistant bacterial pathogens or resistant genetic elements. Antimicrobial-resistant organisms in domestic animals such as poultry, beef, and swine are well documented (12,13) and have been implicated as reservoirs for multidrug-resistant foodborne pathogens. Interaction with waste materials from these livestock species may confer resistant pathogens and genetic elements to free-ranging wildlife, potentially creating an additional environmental reservoir of resistant organisms (8). We examine the impact of habitat on antimicrobial susceptibilities of E. coli isolates recovered from different flocks of resident, free-living Canada Geese to determine the potential for these animals to be additional sources of antimicrobial resistance through exposure pathways that originate in the environment."

"PLZ NO DIE. I CAN HAZ CUTE."
Canada Geese are not only a menace to society, but a serious risk to your outdoor pets. When Fido, or Dr. Kitty eat the bird turds, they could die.
Zoonotic diseases are infectious diseases that can be transferred from animals to humans. The stools of Canada geese contain a variety of bacteria and viruses that actually can affect humans. It is advised that unless someone is working directly with the geese, it is unlikely that they can get sick. However, humans exposed to Chalymadiosis experience this manifestation as pneumonia. 67% of Canada Geese are non-migratory. These stationary birds basically hang out all day and infect our water with their daily two pounds of shit. Many are questioning if these toxic turds can in fact harm humans. According to science, they can, but have not been well documented.
