But noting the dates of June 27 to July 11, we have to surmise that USDA was not in NYC for two weeks merely to do two roundups. There had to be far more.<br /><br />As for the contract, the Port Authority is not obligated to do Community Notifications (not that the city ever did). More importantly, it allows the city to claim its "support" for wildlife while behind closed doors, giving the green light for more goose slaughters. <br /><br />Yes, deception everywhere -- and not one word about it in the press.

That's only the 1 park that we know and was confirmed by USDA. Also 50 more geese were removed from the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge on July 11th (for the 6th straight summer). Down from 1500 to less than 100. The only "reprieve" has been to the City in that now it's the Port Authority that is contractually--with City "approval"--authorized to kill geese on City properties.
