Senator Seeks to Allow Goose Kills near NY Airport after Multiple Collisions with Planes | Fox News

Can we not agree that a plane-load of passengers is a lot more important than some geese?

Well with some people apparently not.

"But the idea of a goose roundup at a wildlife refuge that is part of the National Park Service has its detractors.

'It's the only bird refuge that we have in New York City,' said Edita Birnkrant, New York director of Friends of Animals. 'If they can't be protected in a wildlife refuge, then where can they be protected?' "

" 'The killing just doesn't work,' she said. 'We have to focus on learning to coexist with these birds.' "

What is humane about becoming "road kill" on the windshield of a passenger jet? Is that coexistence? As long as we have some people who are more concerned about birds than hundreds of human passengers on an aircraft threatened by those same birds, then we aren't going to agree.
