Residents angry over Leeds Bradford Airport geese cull
27.09.11
A beauty spot near Leeds Bradford Airport was cordoned off in the early hours of the morning so that environment officials could kill a flock of geese, the YEP reports. Around 10 Canada Geese were killed at Yeadon Tarn after officers from the Food and Environment Research Agency shot the flock on the orders of the airport.
A joint statement from FERA, the airport and Leeds City Council said that the birds were killed because they posed ‘a significant risk to the aircraft’. But local residents are upset about incident, which came under the cover of darkness and with no warning, and have even put RIP posters around the area. They say that geese have always been regular visitors to Yeadon Tarn and they have not been aware of any shootings in the past.
