Canada Geese can be mean as hell. Years ago, my wife and her friend were at a pond with several of our kids. There were hundreds (wife estimate, not mine) of geese. The kids were eating graham crackers and the geese decided they wanted crackers as well. The kids screamed as the Geese got aggressive. Sadly for the geese, my wife also had our 200lb mastiff with her. And, upon the shrieks of terror from the children, coupled with the scene of pandemonium of the marauding geese, Maxwell decided to take matters into his own hands, or jaws more precisely.

Moments later after the feathers settled, what could be seen were 13 dead geese, blood everywhere, an out of breath dog, and three toddlers who needed therapy. My wife said it was like seen out of Apocalypse Now.

Great story, that makes my day. I’ve hated those evil birds for thirty years or ever how long they’ve been protected. When they cross the street and expect traffic to sit still, I’ve seen a couple of truckers make haste and mash ‘em. I poke ‘em along as to get through but I’ll be damned getting into an accident to avoid hitting one.

There’s a Beatles’ Maxwell’s Silver Hammer joke in there somewhere...

These days you would be in deep doo doo if your dog killed that many Canada geese

They are lovely birds but I would love to see their population reduced. Poison them or shoot them I don’t care.

That would have made an outstanding photo essay!

I love that story. I got too close to a pair's nest in a parking lot. They came after me squawking and pecking. Foul tempered poop machines.
