Subject: PR: GooseBuster adds optional gunshot & coyote sounds

Dear Editor:

We are pleased to submit a press release on improved GooseBuster, the world's first and only Canada goose repeller to feature actual alert and alarm calls recorded in the wild, and now the world's only repeller to also feature optional coyote sounds and gunshots from a goose's perspective.  Its development was based on the scientific lab and field studies conducted by Dr. Philip Whitford, a noted expert in the field of animal behavior who has studied Canada goose behavior and vocal communications since 1979 and has published more than 60 articles on the subject.

Josh Goodman is a former staff writer for GOVERNING.
