Bill To Allow Shooting of Angry Birds at KJFK
U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand on Wednesday proposed making it easier to round up geese from a federal refuge near Kennedy Airport and kill them, an idea that's meeting opposition from wildlife advocates. (www.foxnews.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
You don't go crashing your car just because you have insurance, right? Therefore, i don't understand the people who are saying pilots have the training, so it's acceptable to have the chances of a bird strike go up expedentially. Large birds like geese, should not be hanging around a runway. Is killing them all the answer? I don't know... would not mind one in my freezer though.
First off, have no idea why tho headline refers to the birds as "angry" lol. Seriously though, I just can't bring myself to support killing off a bunch of these birds like that. There has to be a better way to handle these problems such as having sharper turbines, or implementing lights such as the article said. Because bird strikes can happen in places farther away from airports as well, better to learn to coexist with them anyways.
Take a trip to Denmark they are world leaders in bird protection.
long overdue
A bird in the engine beats two in the Senator's bush...
The birds were there first ! i mean whats all the training for if I can't trust my pilot to land on one engine or none in the case of USAir flight is proof that pilots have been more than trained for these events, bird strike or two will keep them sharp in the cockpit..
