| OOPSIE-2000 Migrating Geese die over ID Nuke Range, falling out of the air! | |
| 2015-03-21 | |
| I have a pond behind the house that hosts 2000 Canadian geese at a time in the spring/fall. If all it takes is to have a nearby nuclear reactor... Our Canada Geese used to migrate. They don't any more, though they happily continue to be fruitful and multiply. I figure if bad times really come, the excess of C. Geese and deer will feed the local population for at least a few months.

| #5 Man, lighting off a honker or two would be crazy. Likely carry the equivalent of 8 gallons in their fatty, fat fat. Forest fires, thermal infrastructure damage and roof fires. |

| #4 Not much sympathy here for the once endangered Canada Goose. Now we are over-run with them, and they have successfully chased the Loons from our favorite lake. And then there's this: Birds Bursting Into Flames Above Solar Farm Stirs Calls To Slow Expansion |

| #3 We can consume the rats with antlers. Then the rats with wings... When they came for the rats with antlers, I said nothing for I was not herbivorous. Some years back, there was a big outbreak of avian cholera in the Texas migratory snow goose population. The Dept. of Wildlife wanted to shoot the poor afflicted critters, but enviro-weenies filed suit saying it was mean to shoot them, better to let them die 'naturally'. After a while, the question was moot. |

| #1 Fish & Game are in a hurry to collect the bodies. I first thought they may have flown through RA outgassing. Now I wonder if they hit a power beam test. |
