GLIN==> Geese are vectors for antibiotic resistant bacteria

["Alex J. Sagady & Associates" <ajs@sagady.com>]

Given the occurrence of problem geese throughout Michigan, I thought
this would be of interest to the list.   I still remember how large flocks of
geese would use Michigan State University's experimental wastewater
treatment ponds years ago when they received east lansing wastewater
[the MSU ponds are no longer used for that purpose.].

Geese are vectors for antibiotic resistant bacteria....including from
CAFO wastes...which are mentioned in the article.
