Jeffrey Kramer, a member of animal rights group GooseWatchNYC, said donating the trapped geese was a way to spin a stomach-turning program. “There’s an ulterior motive. It makes it easier to swallow,” Kramer said of the killings.

His group says the city’s airports should invest in better radar systems to avoid bird-plane collisions — not kill the animals.

Idiot

How is better radar going to avoid bird strikes?

Birds do not file flight plans. Nor do they fly predictable routes. They change direction without notice.

A flock on the ground this minute can be in the air the next minute for no particular reason.

Radar is pretty darned good right now. It is not that the birds do not show up on radar that is the issue.

Maybe enough radar to microwave them out of the air?
