Because for one thing, they ARE killing these birds, and it is a horrible inhumane death of entire families of geese, devoted mates and babies, and it is a terror-filled, prolonged experience for NOTHING.

On a non-emotional level (and I for one do not know why emotionalism is such a bad thing, it is what makes us human.  Naziism was cold and brutal.), there are also the government lies and corruption of blaming everything from airline safety to health problems falsely on geese, and there is nothing in any writing whatsoever to legitamately document any of this.  Instead of simply humanely manageing geese into smaller populations which is absolutely and easily done by non-lethal techniques, Bloomberg wants to make a murder/food machine out of this and LIES to us about it.  It is insulting to our intellect, wastes our tax money and is completely unnecessary.  There are REAL problems in this city to deal with.  There is a huge percentage of people who enjoy taking their children and elderly parents to the parks and enjoying these animals and the government needs to listen to these people as well.

and as for cracking we’re not even talking of geese anymore. Way to stay on topic. I’m crumbling because I come back and there are literally 40 comments from you all derogatory and attacks on my person. Not actual debate of the topic. So, I tire of you. It is to be expected. I see you have mad free time and will not cede the last word so have at it. Call me all the things you think about yourself, I know you can’t afford therapy so have at it.

thanks for your psychological work up Dr. Steinberg. Ad hominem attack look it up that’s all. How is any of what you’re saying related to the things I said earlier? I already copped to being an ass.hole. And apologized for being condescending to others. That was never my intention and that can be seen in my writing in general. I have yet to say anything overtly mean to anyone until they first said several nasty things about me or to me such as you have. Furthermore, even if I were to be an unstable, passive aggressive and incompetent lawyer as you paint me what would that have to do with my responses pertaining to geese and the subsequent responses that followed? All of your points are ad hominem logic fallacy.

We were NEVER talking about geese because by your own admission, you know nothing about the topic.  So why were you even flapping your gums about something you didn’t even bother researching. Very poor law to not know your topic.

No, this was all about nothing more than your ego and you LOST and now you’re a sore loser.  I may have left 40 short comments but they were to your 40 long and rambling ones, so who has mad free time, buddy?

You’re not tired, You just have no ammunition to defend yourself because you know I’m right.  You ARE an insufferable asshole and you publicly proved that to everyone.

You must be very lonely if you made an e-mail account just for me. Thanks a bunch, but I decline your, uh, generous offer.  I just don’t find you a worthy opponent.  You are not a master debater.  Oh, my bad.  Maybe that’s all you are.

If you want to find out just how much to trust the USDA and their safety record with food, read an extraordinary book titled – “Mad Sheep: The True Story Behind the USDA’s War on a Family Farm” by Linda Faillace – and draw your own conclusion. You can get it from your library or you can even find it on eBay. This is the frightening true account of a Vermont farming family driven out of business by a government agency cover-up over mad cow disease and corporate greed protecting the American beef industry (not the American public), which had been compromised by sloppy USDA management. Still is. The government hit people involved in this family’s massacre were rewarded with consultant jobs in the fast food industry.

What happened with these sheep and the USDA happens with various other animals such as the geese and is supplemented by various other government agencies such as USF&W. It is all about money and protecting special interests and nothing else.  Certainly not your health.
