Animals Bugging Airplanes

Would you believe that animals are bugging the city airport to the point that they are going to have to install a 7 1/2 mile femce that will cost a million bucks? The Federal Aviation Administration asked the Airport Commission two years ago to have a year-long study done to determine if wildlife posed a danger at the airport. The study which began last June will be completed this month but the verdict is in. The problem is deer and coyotes wandering onto the runways. They also plan to rehabilitate taxiways if more federal funds become available. Sounds like a great idea to me. I want to feel safe when flying into the airport.
