NYC to gas 2,000 geese

AFTERMATH by Evelyn Roman - Holocaust Survivor



Pray that the geese in New York that survive have not the ability to remember.

Lest we not forget, all of the creatures of this world are equal in the eyes of mother nature.

Good luck New York City.

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.............

An act of such wasteful cruelty should not ever go by unnoticed by us. Even if they are only birds to you.

These animals represent a kind of freedom all should be envious of. They are paying the ultimate price for our sins. They go to the gas chamber so that the flying public can feel safer.

Trapped when they can't fly, forced into a gas chamber and killed by an incredibly cruel form of asphyxiation.

There has to be a better way. To do this when there are other options will leave yet another irremovable stain on humanity.

Karma, New York. rethink this and choose a more humane solution. It is not to late.

I'm done here.

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.........

Poor things. Thats cruel.

Poor things. Thats cruel.

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.

This seems to actually be a trend... They culled starlings last year, article in this thread:

FINALLY, a crackdown on illegal immigration!
