Euthanized refers to the termination of life of living things that are suffering. The geese in Rangeley did not appear to be suffering but rather very healthy and increasing in numbers (“Resident Canada geese to be euthanized in Rangeley,” June 23). Exhaustive methods used? What methods. We spent five days in the Rangeley Lake area. No warnings did we see. We saw a person in a camp nearby feeding the geese. Killed is the accurate word. I wouldn’t want to be killed. I wouldn’t want to be euthanized or “harvested” either. Those two words are real gentle on the person doing the killing. ~ George Hunt, Gardiner
