What a wonderful article in tribute to man’s ability to perceive a problem and do something positive for all sides to correct it. Apparently, however, only in Israel is nature so respected that the solution is to work with it instead of against it. Here in the United States, beautiful Canadian Geese and other birds are being gassed and/or shot because of the bird-strike issue, a problem that is being blown out of all proportion by our local and federal government agencies and they are waging a terror campaign scaring the public into believing that their safety in the air is only guaranteed if thousands of these birds are killed. Between mapping migration routes and re-routing planes, and use of bird radar (which is oddly NOT being used, even though a bird radar system called MERLIN exists), much of our problem could be solved, far better than inhumanely killing thousands of birds. I suppose the fact that the US Dept. of Agriculture, which is going around promoting itself as the authority on bird population control, pockets a ton of money for killing the birds, might have something to do with this.

In reply to hrf. Thanks Henry. Won't you direct this to The Media Line, where the article first appeared? The Media Line

Hi,
Decades in plural like “1980s”, shouldn’t have an apostrophe as there is no ownership or contraction. There is little room for confusion if you remove it.
Thanks
Henry
