They’re using plywood cut outs of coyotes, which is the natural enemy of geese. In the cutouts they placed plastic bags to make them look like they were carring a goose in their mouths.
Dr. Travis Hux, the assistant superintendent of support services for the district, said they brainstormed the idea after many golf courses use cutouts of foxes and other predators to keep animals away.
“For the geese from above it appears that they’re holding a goose in their mouth and that creates a threat to the geese, so they don't land on the playground. We have giggled about it and people laugh when I tell them, but I say go check it out, you’ll notice no geese running around on the playground,” explained Hux.
For Principal Dickerson she said she’s excited that they students get to enjoy the playground once again

If your backyard was constantly full of geese, making a mess, would you let them? If you had a tree full of croaking crows, would you simply let them be? making your life a living hell by their horrid noise? You would find a humane way of dealing with them right? In this case, they're not shooting the geese, they're not setting up booby traps, they're dealing with them in a neat, rational way.
I don't see anything self-fish or 'greedy' in that.
Sometimes whole flocks of geese will "mysteriously" come up missing around a beach and nobody asks any questions.
