Does this mean they are going to round up another 2,000 geese and execute them?

Nope, they are going to fine the pilot for hurting the wildlife.

I dont see why they have to kill them. Cant they figure out a way to send them somewhere else?

Like a TFR around the airport.... The birds routinely break class B airspace restrictions, do you think they are going to care about a TFR?

Saw a pretty funny comment on NYP's website.

Not sure if its a joke or not
