A concerned citizen complains:
I don't want to be a wet blanket, but every evening when I walk through the Public Garden between 5 and 6, I see this gentleman feeding the geese and ducks, in spite of the fact that such feeding is not allowed - I would normally let it go, but he feeds them practically every night, and he feeds them a lot! If this really harms the critters, someone should talk to him - otherwise, they should remove the signs!

How many of us readers are

How many of us readers are "concerned for the well-being of the geese" but consume meat and dairy products from animals who live in horrific, hell-like conditions until they are slaughtered?
Perhaps this bird-feeder doesn't have any loved ones or companions. Many people will just look down on this individual, but try to have some understanding and compassion.
Although the geese are coming for the food only and not to get companionship from the human, this individual may only feel appreciated by these animals. Let the person be and realize there are many other things worth complaining about.

But no, I know that if I were to make a meal of one of these geese that everyone wants to get rid of, my name would be mud anywhere the story gets picked up.
Still, do people around here have their Christmas goose. I know that the boys from Lonely Island love their boiled goose, but that doesn't sound delicious at all. Perhaps some day I'll track down a properly prepared goose for dinner.
About once a week I see a guy

About once a week I see a guy who dumps an entire loaf of Wonder Bread right from the bag next to the lagoon. This kind of food isn't good for birds and it makes a mess. Let's leave feeding the birds to young kids who give them just a little bit for fun.

"someone should talk to him - otherwise, they should remove the signs!"
-Typical Liberal mentality HAHAHA maybe we need yet another alphabet agency to police Human Bird Feeders. Let me guess, you work at a non profit NGO or the like and drive your Subaru in the passing lane 10MPH under the speed limit completely oblivious that there is anything or anyone behind you. Probably listening NPR. I have an Obama Bumper Sticker Removal kit I would like to sell you....
Cool story, bro.

Do you copy and paste this

Do you copy and paste this stuff from some sort of conservative starter kit or something? There already is a agency for this, the Park Service, and the report has asked that it be forwarded to them. This is not hard to figure out. Are you in Clive Bundy's living room?
There must be a starter kit.

But I think folks like him/her just get tired of twiddling their thumbs.
Honestly, folks.

The entire purpose of the citizen's connect app is not to report bank robberies in progress, it's to create an efficient, low-hassle way for the public to report quality-of-life stuff like potholes, burned-out streetlights, uncollected trash, missing street signs, rat infestations, etc....
Isn't someone habitually dumping an armload of bread into the lagoon in the public garden exactly that sort of thing?
Another reason: bird food is

Another reason: bird food is also rat food.
