Residents of Madison, Alabama's Edgewater neighborhood have taken to the streets to challenge a homeowners association plan to cull hundreds of Canada geese at Lady Ann Lake by lethal gassing. The HOA voted to proceed with the euthanization despite opposition, citing unspecified concerns that prompted the drastic measure. Protesters are pushing back with calls for humane alternatives to killing the birds, setting up a clash between property management and animal welfare advocates in this lakeside community.
