First catch your goose

I reproduce in full a NIB in The Times from Reuters:
Geese that pose a danger to aircraft on take off will be sent to Pennsylvania to be cooked as meals for the poor. City officials revealed the plans after a US Airways flight had to ditch in the Hudson River after it struck a flock of geese in 2009

So many questions. How many committees sat, how many options were considered? Was cost benefit analysis employed? Why Pennsylvania? How will the meals be served or delivered to the poor?

Will the geese be rounded up & assessed individually for their danger potential? Or will just being a goose in New York be evidence enough of guilt?
