3. Has Trump signed an executive order renaming the species U.S. geese yet?

I'm a bit on the fence about whether they should be euthanized or not. They have really become a nuisance in so many places. I believe they have protected status currently, but any species can become overpopulated and then become a problem (including our own). As a long time member of Audubon, I remember how they advocated for certain species to be culled, such as the Eastern sparrow. They also advocated taking the goose eggs out of their nests and replacing them with fake eggs. Our subdivision has fought this losing battle with the geese on our pond for decades. Some of the Board's attempts were absolutely comical. The geese always won.
