It seems as if New York’s Department of Environmental Protection has come up with a better plan for the thousands of Canadian geese its been laying to waste since US Airways Flight 1549’s unfortunate run-in with a small flock back in 2009. The old plan was simple. Capture, kill and send to the landfill. According to NBC Philly, NY city officials are now working with the USDA to ship the menacing geese to Pennsylvania, where they will be processed for consumption and donated to food banks that feed the needy. New York is expected to have a similar program up and running sometime next year, but until then, we get dibs on the foie gras! [NBC Philly]
