The rationale for killing geese around for air safety has no basis in fact whatsoever. None. Our powers that be would like the public to perceive them as DOING SOMETHING to make air travel safer. This will not do that. However, it makes people FEEL safer if they believe the lies and half-truths that articles like this perpetuate. But since when to facts matter, anyway.

Every major aviation expert has spoken against this. There is no other country in the world who slaughters its birds to "protect" planes.

Besides, the birds that a plane MAY collide with would be migratory birds. Flight 1549 hit migratory birds from Canada. Killing every resident goose in NYC would have done very little to avoid a strike along a MIGRATION path.

Will the public believe anything these days? Have we lost all critical thinking skills from watching too much reality tv? Please, get the facts straight. This is a needless slaughter.
