non-violence / Ahimsa


In response to the bird strike that brought down an airplane this past winter in N.Y.C. a plan to kill 2,000 geese was announced last week. Many organizations have come out against this plan, saying it will not work to protect anyone is is indeed cruel. (see here)
A petition has been set up to protest this action (see here) and I very much encourage folks to sign it and pass it on to others. I have always believed in non-violence (in yoga they call it Ahimsa) & I think this sense of compassion for all things should govern our decisions & actions.
