Goose vs. Dog and Man

Canada geese are not to be messed with. I’ve been attacked by one on a golf course and at a birds-of-prey center (go figure…). They’re just pure evil.

Geese aren’t exactly friendly. My Husband’s family got some for their farm and they learned very quickly that those birds are MEAN.
DH’s father was minding his own business when one of them bit the ever living crap out of his arm. He had this HUGE bruise on his arm where it bit him.
They eventually sold them all

Why fear a bird with a handle for a neck? Grasp with both hands, squeeze, and counter-rotate. Goose aggression ceases immediately.

It’s a shame you can’t eat those particular geese, Ali S.

The only use I have for geese is Christmas dinner. We get one every year.

Has no one here thought that the genius holding the camera should have put the camera down and protected his dog? Maybe he could have used the motor and driven away from the goose instead of trying to get the next viral video on the net. Shame on the man not protecting his dog for the sake of video.

Yeah Crispin, Shame on the owner! That goose almost had that dog opened up!!! C’mon, if the dog really felt threatened it would have torn that thing apart. It knew its owner would handle it.
Actually, I think the man did a great job of multi-tasking!

What was wrong with that dog? Mellow is one thing, but that was barely breathing. It should have at least snapped at the thing.

That’s a great momma goose!

The dog knew there was nothing truly threatening about the goose and knew better than to hurt it. Kind of like when my kids pester our dog the way they do, she just sits and lets it pass. She knows they are not a threat.

I had a similar experience (minus the dog) while canoeing in upstate NY years ago. Damn goose bit my arm a couple times, then I introduced it to the canoe paddle – It decided to go elsewhere.

My dog is just like that.

(Mind you, my dog would have been terrified just being in a boat).

Next time he’ll go fishing with his pitbull.

Lol…that poor dog! The owner should have dropped kicked the goose outta there.

Useless dog and man. He could tie the goose while he was fishing.

Take it from a Canuck: s’alright to kill those things, even if your state/province would prefer you didn’t. Useless, shitcrapping, overbreeding, nuisance species. http://www.canadianshatecanadiangeese.com

Reminds me of Alfred Hitchcock.
