As a former public relations professional, it’s easy for me to recognize Northern Light Mercy Hospital’s tactic of using bird flu as an excuse for killing a flock of geese when, in actuality, they were merely an inconvenience for patients and staff.

The geese that Mercy Hospital chose to euthanize were there long before the hospital. I’m sure that there were better alternatives available.
