The Park District officials in Chicago have joined hands with a La Grange-based agency to get rid of the growing number of Canada geese in the city. According to the officials, the messy water-birds have become a major nuisance factor in city parks and need volunteers from the public to help them balance their overgrowing population. To spread awareness and recruit volunteers to help with the mission, park officials are organizing a seminar on Saturday in which people will be educated about the details of geese habitats, their mating habits and life cycle. After the theory training, volunteers will be paired with employees of Wild Goose Chase as they hunt for the nests of the geese.

Santa Monica city officials have said they will be giving squirrels a birth control shot in hopes of controlling the city's problem of squirrel overpopulation, which some health experts say is a public health risk. Officials will be injecting squirrels in Palisades Park with GonaCon, an immuno-contraceptive developed by the U. S. Department of Labor that stunts sexual development. GonaCon stops female squirrels from ovulating and lactating and stops testicular development in male squirrels. Researchers say it takes about three months for the shots to show their effects.
