Canada Geese

New York recently said it would euthanize 2,000 Canada geese that frequent the vicinity of Kennedy and LaGuardia airports. The decision comes in the wake of U.S. Airways Flight 1549's January landing on the Hudson River. Federal wildlife officials also are in the process of exterminating potentially thousands of birds in New Jersey. U.S. Department of Agriculture spokeswoman Carol Bannerman told the Associated Press that a single bird excretes about a half-pound of feces daily, rendering some public parks unusable. N.J. has 80,000 resident Canada geese, about twice the density wildlife officials consider manageable, the AP reported.
Hallefuckinglujah.
I was going to suggest, at the very least, that they be deported. Back to Canada. A few years ago, some hockey-stick-wielding local kids annihilated about a half-dozen Canada geese. I wonder if anyone appreciated the poetic beauty.
Geese defecate indiscriminately. They foul lakes, soil biking/jogging/rollerblading/walking-the-baby-in-a-stroller paths and bury soccer fields under layers of excrement. Or, to put it more eloquently, they're just dirty fuckers. And I've met a number of dogs, including my own, who consider goose shit a delicacy.
And it they start bringing avian flu around, well, better if we already have begun to thin the ranks. Because then it won't be some Asian farmer living in close proximity to chickens, but it could be you at the park. Maybe Jeff Daniels can lead them away in a fucking airplane.
