Mayor Bloomberg's contact info -- NYC.gov

I am looking for a valid source for mortality odds/statistics....... I recall odds of getting killed in an aircraft accident as something well over 250,000 to 1.

Since the FAA report indicates two human fatalities in an 18 year period, the odds of that happening seem rediculously tiny in comparison to other more preventable dangers, such as dogbite, etc. etc.

yes, I'm jacked-up about this.

......... to be continued.............

Not only is Mayor Bloomberg planning on* trapping and gassing their local geese (those that primarily stay in the area all year), but recent testing of the geese involved in the Hudson incident indicate that the geese that were sucked into the airplane's engines were MIGRATING.

I believe this is no solution at all, and is just a typical knee-jerk reaction...... consistent with the thinking of "do SOMETHING! even if it's wrong!"

*edit to add: Well, he's not planning on trapping and gassing them himself, althought I think that would be very appropriate, if he truly believes that gassing 2,000 geese is an appropriate way to mitigate wildlife strikes on airplanes.........

Canadian geese aren't potential problems. They are an ecological problem. They're invasive. They're not even that defenseless, their population has exploded so much in the recent decades that 2,000 of them is not that many.


The NWO elites pretty much look at us the same way. Heck, I look at us the that way. What exactly makes humans a non-invasive species when they grab so much land away from anything else for their exclusive use?


Yes, but your logic fails because all species are not the same, and do not all follow the same "code of conduct".

I support whatever that makes *HUMAN* life better. Killing these birds will help secure air travel, something I would want if ever flying into New York. Not like they are an extinct animal or have a giant ecological downside when these 2000 die.
