wildlife advocates plans to ask Westchester County Airport to stop kiliing birds

Westchester County Airport will consider new methods of scaring off birds and other wildlife without killing them, after meeting with animal advocates, an official said.

Officials from the county, which owns the airport, met Wednesday afternoon with Kiley Blackman, founder of Westchester 4 Geese and several other residents and experts who sought to convince the county that killing is not necessary to keep birds and animals from striking or being struck by airplanes landing and taking off.

"We have been able to stop geese slaughters all over Westchester, which is wonderful. But this is like the last bastion," Blackman said earlier this week

Yea even some insects I can't stand I just don't kill anymore. I take a broom and sweep them outside. I will kill it if it  is an insect that will breed a lot of babies though and infest my apartment. Most, while I don't like it, I just leave alone and open the door and they are gone the next morning. A lot of birds are in danger of extinction or some have become extinct altogether due to humans tearing down forests or hunting them for sport. Animals have every right to live as we do.
