We have Canadian geese living year-round in the Treasure Valley. They’re nasty creatures, crapping all over the place.

The parks in downtown Boise have large expanses of lawns, and they’re often covered in goose crap.

My daughter hates geese because she took care of a friend’s animals a few years ago, and their goose was always harassing her.

If you think geese are bad try swans, they are meaner and dumber and more efficient poop machine.

When I hit a squirel, I always stop traffic, call 911, and wsit for the cops no matter how long.

Meanwhile, yawn, 30 humans aborted that day in the same city. Nobody slowed down even for the counselors trying yo offer help.

I got arrested by my small animal vet clinic. We had a large farm and people would dump cats all the time in the drive off the road. We noticed one cat was a female and pregnant. We normally spay cats on the kitchen table in a batch with our large animal vet doing the cutting.

The small animal vet refused to do it. I explained that they should do it, or a .22 round was in the cats future. They called the local police department on me, right in the vets office.

The large animal farm vet did me a favor and did the job even though it was just one cat.

I also learned to not call the vet to put down livestock. When I did on my first time, he came out of his truck with a 10 pound sledge hammer with one end built up with welding to a very sharp point. He stood over the steer and swung that sledge hammer right between his eyes. $100 bucks, please.

Animal husbandry is not for the squeamish. My daughter has a knack at saving ewes and cows after they push their uterus and guts out during birthing. She washes the innards with water and dish soap, shoving them back inside in the correct order, stitches the opening closed with an old shoelace, a good 50ml shot of pennecillin, and most survive. Some even breed again.

Well and my logic says they clearly made it to the center median safely. They can find their way back

I remember a certain goose on my Grandpa’s farm used to chase me when I was a toddler and nip at me to steal my cookie. It
was a mean sucker. We ate it for dinner before it got too old and tough.

A two month investigation for road kill, and zero concern for geese killed by wind turbines.

For his punishment, the guy will be required to run seven times around the seven hills of Rome...
The seven hills that inspired the name of Rome are known as Blossom, Jackson, Lumpkin, Mount Aventine, Myrtle, Old Shorter, and Neely Hills (the latter is also known as Tower or Clock Tower Hill). Some of the hills have been partially graded since Rome was founded.[36][37]

Honk honk….

Where we live, there is a public park across the street and it’s full of geese. I call them the Shorewood Park Gang. They are so used to people that whenever I go for walks on the bike path, I often have to walk around them- they lay across the path and DARE ME to move thru them. I value my ankles, so I go around them. There have been times recently where they were laying and standing across the road, and I had no choice but to toot the horn and yell at them to move.Eventually, they decide to get up when it suits them to do so.

Perhaps this particular driver had that happen one too many times. I’m NOT justifying him killing them.
