    "The city and the Port Authority plan to trap and kill up to 2,000 Canada Geese this summer in a bid to avoid the type of collision that caused a US Airways plane to ditch in the Hudson River earlier this year. " NYPost

    These demonstrators seem to take an extreme position, but I have to admit that I agree with the basic idea that killing 2,000 geese is not going to change the situation.

    Geese have been up in the sky for a lot longer than we have. I have some sympathy for the protesters' point of view.

    I like those folks. I'm with SteveR & zzzz1492.

    I wonder why so much hostility towards the protesters. They seemed peaceful and courteous.

    It's not like Geese have some multibillion dollar corporation that can buy fancy lobbyists to take politicians to many fine lunches and dinners and golf clubs. So quiet protesting isn't an option for them...

    We like geese, we also enjoy making jokes. Don't take too much of anything we say seriously ;)

    No worries. I liked the video. Very even-handed. ;-) I also like the commentary. Just thought someone should stick up for the geese.

    One thing I really like about geese is they totally poop all over golf courses. And I hate golf. ;-)

    Golf clubs sometimes (often?) use border collies to herd the geese off their courses. No harm done to either species. Totally organic solution. I wonder what airports could do instead of killing? Maybe hire some flying border collies? Someone should make a video of this. ;-)

    What I have learned is that no matter how much you try and tear the social economic stucture of America it seems as though you will always fail. We are built on multi billion dollar industries, and we are the ones who work for them. Face it, you can't go a few days without give at least 10 of those companies at least some of you money, lobbyists are going to be around as long as humans are. Thats not to discourage you from fighting for change, but America is one of those interesting examples where protest doesn't really work. Get a degree in Politics, conform, survive, and when the time is right set forth you agenda.

    I've protested.. but not about animal rights.. I like to eat them..
  • hahaha OM NOM NOM NOM!
  • Johannes Courtens 4 months ago
    But fair treatment of animals is surely a good and a much needed change. Plus happy animals make tasty animals.
