Prospect Park's Geese to Be Eaten by Pennsylvanians

• As a Pennsylvanian (Philadelphia) who has been following the goose killings in New York (and elsewhere) with horror and mounting anger, I am FURIOUS and OUTRAGED over this latest insanity.  Has your mayor completely lost his mind?  This little mini-Hitler for animals needs to be impeached.  If he spent half as much time and money on running New York as he spends on  killing  the geese, he might actually solve a problem occasionally.  But instead, he stuffs the pockets of his cronies, the USDA, full of your tax dollars (a LOT of them) to massacre harmless geese year after year - proof that the killing programs don't work, but the USDA knew that all along.  Every year, they laugh all the way to the bank.  Communities have learned after being scammed by the USDA for years that their plan doesn't work, is just a never-ending source of revenue for the agency, and when they turn to non-lethal humane goose management companies, they have far better long-term success at lower cost. However, apparently, this year the USDA is dragging Pennsylvania into its corrupt plan and using the state to help wipe the blood off their hands.  They now seem to think that they can fool the public into accepting this obscene and unnecessary slaughter by trying to make it sound charitable by donating the murdered geese to the poor.  Never mind that what they are really doing is using the poor as trash cans to get rid of the geese.  Geese eat a lot of things that are treated with pesticides and most places will not accept goose meat because it is much too heavily compromised for human consumption.  Oh, but not Pennsylvania.  I wonder how much they are paying the PA officials to look the other way on that one. If you want to know just what a corrupt agency the USDA is, read a book titled "Mad Sheep: The True Story Behind the USDA's War on a Family Farm" by Linda Faillace.  This despicable agency ruined this innocent family just to cover their own butts and protect their own interests, certainly not the public health.  Keep this in mind with the situation with the geese. It is all about money and protecting special interests and nothing else.  It is a cautionary tale about why you should never hand over too much trust and power to corrupt and incompetent government agencies like the USDA, Dept. of Natural Resources, etc., and the people with personal agendas and special interests who are in bed with them. Hint: Follow the money trail and the word of so-called "experts", and if you disregard the warning, stock up on K-Y jelly. You'll need it.

• Last year, this year, and looking ahead to next year.  The USDA is out of control and is sucking up taxpayers money on stupid, ineffective,  and what may be illegal Canada goose slaughters.  Watching this unfold from Canada and I could not be more disgusted;   NYC a world class city...I hope not!! I am hoping the Animal Liberation Front starts stepping up here- as it is pretty obvious until some militancy is involved,  making it more uncomfortable to kill these innocent birds than to not kill them, this Doombird inspired idiocy will continue.  

• Like Americans aren't fat and unhealthy enough from all the garbage we eat? Let's add lead, mercury and pesticide-laden city park wildlife to that? Happy brain and nervous systen disorders everyone. Certainly, those making these kinds of "decisions" are obviously suffering from brain and heart disease already.
