Chasing off TVs

Heaven forfend that any of us should admit to reading People, let alone
the National Enquirer, while standing in a grocery line, but.....
There's an article in the most recent issue of People (9/21, page 123)
about a family in Gardiner, New York, that is suffering a plague of TVs
worse than any the Canadian-American geese have inflicted on the
greenskeepers at Avenel. Part of the quandary is that the damn things
are federally protected, and they are having trouble getting a permit
from the admittedly sympathetic NY State Director for USDA responsible
for reviewing permit applications.
When they tried playing tapes of shotgun blasts, they were opposed by a
neighbor who proclaims that "God put them there for a reason" and puts
out spoiled meat to feed them.
Any suggestions? .....besides putting the neighbor out for them?
