The National speak out on goose killings

Scores of readers have spoken out against the killing of hundreds of geese in Prospect Park, and last night, Matt Berninger added to the chorus.

The Brooklyn-based band, with members living in Park Slope, played to a sold-out crowd in a benefit for Celebrate Brooklyn at the band shell. And, according to Spinner, the band wasn't too thrilled about the missing geese, dedicating its song, "Geese of Beverly Road," to the dead hundreds.

"I'll be glad when I take off from LaGuardia, but for now I'm sad," said Berninger.

Looks like the cause has a new anthem.

Hear the song live in a performance last month in Toronto below.
