This is an appalling practice that must be stopped. These geese pose NO public safety threat. They are resident geese who do not fly in airline flight paths. Flight 1549 (Miracle on the Hudson) struck and killed migratory birds in January. Migratory birds fly in flocks large enough to damage airplane engines - airline engines are built to 'ingest' birds in small numbers. Resident geese neither fly at these high altitudes nor do they fly in the numbers that will pose a danger. Thus, the USDA is purely a mercenary organization using taxpayer money to kill our wildlife. What a shame.

It is humans who are the nuisance and a grave danger to the geese, not the other way around.

Frankly put, geese poop on the grass; humans shit on everything.
