holy fuck I have no hope for anything anymore
400 Prospect Park Geese Killed
"Wildlife biologists and technicians had descended on the park Thursday morning and herded the birds into a fenced area. The biologists, working with the federal Agriculture Department, then packed the geese two or three to a crate and took them to a nearby building where they were gassed with lethal doses of carbon dioxide"
"The couple found plastic zip-tie restraints in a pile near gosling feathers."
"Elsewhere in the country, nuisance wildlife birds are usually chased away by border collies or firecrackers. But in New York, Ms. Bannerman said, there is no relocation program for the geese, and they must be euthanized. Another method for controlling the birds is coating their eggs with corn oil, to prevent them from hatching."
"The carcasses of the Prospect Park geese will be double-bagged and dumped in a landfill."
