This Is Outrageous: Going To Kill Geese Near Airports

Humans think they have sole rights to this earth, I think that is disgusting, humans kill anything for any reason, then if a human get attacked by some animal then its full force to hunt down that attacker and kill it...I think its about time we all realized we humans have stuffed up this world and we do not and should not hog the whole earth... we should have learnt by now to give back to the earth and most of all to share...

Yes, I agree and from what I saw on tv they plan not only to round up the ones at or near the airports but in lakes and ponds too.
These are beautiful magestic birds, they have every right to be here. One of our creatures that was here before all of the airplanes and just because it exsist and happens to be near airports they are going to kill thousands of them. Yes, I said thousands of them.
The geniuses that make the engines for the jets and planes should come up with a screen in front of the engines that would only allow air to go through the engines. As air is needed to make them work.
Find some way to defend the birds from the planes and likewise the planes engines from the birds. Their first thought and order of the day is to kill the birds. Come on you guys must be smarter than this.
I was outraged when I heard this and and I sent a letter to our senator. Obviously it did not do any good. But if the letters came in masses maybe it would.
Where are the people fighting for the rights of these birds? Don't they have any rights?
Apparently not! They are going to be slaughter in the name of invention, jet engines...

Makes me sick - bad enough we are taking over all the land that once belonged to the animals but now we're taking over the sky too. These birds are doing what comes natural to them and what is going to stop them from coming back next year. Oh we could spend millions of dollars and build a net to block them but they are still going to go to their 'home area' and opps net would get in the way of the planes... It's not natural for us to be up in the air to begin with, well at least not me, I wasn't born with wings. Stupid, sick, and idiotic the whole idea of it. Let's just kill all the animals on earth and then start killing the people that get in our way - oh opps again, already doing that...

Hey there girlfriend!!
Thought I'd pop in to see what's happening here on myLot and here you are!

This is such a sad subject all the way around. We ALWAYS take away the animals territory without any hesitation. It's pathetic and very hard to deal with.

We just encroach constantly on what little area they have left, and they don't know where to go or what to do anymore. Then we get mad when they encroach on our territory, and it's boom, kill them. Same with the deer, we have too many in the backyards, shoot them, and they do.

I remember one apartment complex I lived in, had a big beautiful lake and during the Spring the maintenance men would go around and shake the eggs to destroy them. It was sickening. Man will always be barbaric no matter what day and age it is.

It definately sounds like a reeal stupid and idiotic thing to do!! That is the goverment for you! What a bunch of morons! Like you said, Geese aren't the only birds that can couse damage to a airplanes engine! Maybe the people who run the airports should reconsider before doing this really stupid thing of killing geese! I hope the Humane Society or PETA or someone other animal cruelty oraganiztion steps in and this bird killing doesn't happen! I agree that the airlines could and should look into building different plane engines that birds are less likely to be stucked into! It makes better sense then kiilling all those innocent birds!

Idiots all.

EXACTLY!!! It is the air travelers that are the interlopers there in New York, not the birds! It all comes down to the ALL MIGHTY DOLLAR. They don't want to spend money developing a bird safe engine. I understand they have to land safely, and take off safely.. but they don't have to round up all the birds and execute them!

We have geese on the lake behind our house. I love to watch them fly in and land on the water. It is so amazing to watch. I am not sure if they are Canadian geese or what kind of geese they are, but they are pretty and sure do love it when the kids come out in the afternoon with leftover biscuits, cornbread from dinner!
Some nights there are 30-40 geese and about that many little ones throwing them bread pieces.
I am sure that there will be a wildlife group of some sort that will jump in and hopefully save these birds.

Pye-

I recall seeing that on the news. It's senseless. We forget easily that this was the animal's world before humans and it will return to them. It's a shame we cannot enjoy them while we exist on this planet together, instead of killing them off. I suppose I will never understand our need as humans to take more then we need, and extinguish anything that gets in our "way".

Perhaps you can publish a book this and get it out to the mass populus.
