For Air Safety, 400 Geese Are Killed in Brooklyn's Prospect Park
Authorities have been thinning the region’s ranks of Canada geese since two of them flew into the engines of US Airways Flight 1549 in January 2009, forcing it to ditch in the Hudson River. Last summer, 1,200 were rounded up around the city. But the Prospect Park roundup appears to have been the single biggest episode. The goal is to eliminate all of the geese within seven miles of major area airports.

You guys have to be kidding Right? These geese are not indiginous to the lower forty eight on a year round basis. They have been habituated by the locals so that they stay year round now. Keep them for the kids? I am guessing that you have never stepped in their piles of poop that causes the numerous parks and beaches to be closed due to E-coli. As for feeding them to the homeless, thank the local Red Tape makers (PETA, Federal and Local Govt.'s) for making that not happen. These "Homeless" people have to be fed USDA and FDA approved food. These beasts might have some parasite that you would be infecting those people with according to them. Now for those that compare their demise to the rounding up of Jews by Nazis? Do you realize that in doing so you degrade the Jews of Germany that were killed as no more important as a "Goose"? So much for critical thinking. Why don't we poll the people on board Stillie's flight that landed in the Hudson to see how they feel about these Kamakazi water fowl? Bottom line...They are just BIRDS folks, not one of you are going to miss them tomorrow.
