To begin with, the presence of the hawks has contributed significantly to the explosion in the rat population in the park, and surrounding areas. When the hawks moved in, the Parks Department stopped putting out poison to kill the rats.
Also, since the hawks arrived, East Villagers have had to suffer this sort of carnage (seen in Tompkins Square Park):

City parks are not meant to harbor wildlife; there's something sinister about nature invading a city.
The Parks Department should trap the hawks and move them to the Adirondacks, where they belong.
