New York feeds them to the poor, why not, it’s good food.
NY doesn't feed them to their poor, they let PA feed them to their poor.

This is at least an inventive solution. Send the geese that plague the New York airports off to be eaten by the poor in Pennsylvania.


New York City plans to capture pesky geese that threaten planes flying in and out of airports and send them to Pennsylvania to be cooked for meals for the poor, city officials said on Thursday.

There’s really only one slight problem with it. Those geese are likely to taste just awful.

“Just because someone is low-income, I don’t think we should ask them to eat something that most Canadians wouldn't eat.”

The crux of the matter. It is sort of getting people use to eating wild rat or maggots.

I would eat Canada goose if I had the opportunity. Although i have heard that the breast meat is tough from flying!

The powers to be should cull the geese and feed them to a select few like you and friendshipgal and some of the advocates of feeding geese to the less fortunate. Wild meat has a lousy flavour which takes a lot of getting use to, certainly in the world of our present supermarket and fast food offerings.

I would hardly call the geese that inhabit our golf course year round and eat Kentucky blue grass 'wild'.

One got killed by a golf ball.

The guy that hit it took it home and cooked it.

Said it was delicious.

I can't imagine that there be much difference between domestic goose and a Canada goose, if they both are feeding on grass.

They certainly taste as good, I've had lots. Goose is prized in many countries and are a natural renewable resource, I don't see the problem. I'll take some any time as long as they are pre-cleaned. :)-

Most Canadians by a large margin do not eat domestic duck or goose. In fact they are hard to locate. Both are heavily laced with fat, which must be disguised for consumption, like a big mac. Wonderful food if one is doing heavy cold work

You do have to prepare duck properly, or it will indeed be greasy. It's not a matter of disguising it though!
