Are you from a third word country?

So, typically, it's not ok to "hit and run" a child or a dog. Not sure if you are very dumb, or just being obtuse (neither is a good look, btw).

DP. It’s also not OK to hit and run a protected species under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Or, morally, to hit and leave any animal in agony by the side of the road. Not sure how you missed the obvious analogy.

At what point in life does the Migratory Bird Treaty Act become common knowledge? I'm 45 and it hasn't happened yet. Nobody, literally nobody, expects the typical suburbanite to know this law.

Moreover, I would never get out of my car and physically handle wild animal roadkill unlessit was a cat or dog. I'm not educated on how to do that. Pp, rather than leave the goose in agony, would YOU get out of your car and put it out of its misery yourself? Haha. I doubt it.

The MBTA has been around since Teddy Roosevelt and all the women’s hats decorated with dead birds. But anyway, you know now, so no more excuses.

Actually I would get out. If for no other reason than to see if, when I called animal control, to tell them to come for rehab stat or disposal when they’re available. Who said to put it out of its misery? Not me, because without xrays you don’t know what the rehabbers can do or not do. That’s the whole idea—there are groups that can help the goose, for free. You just need to take 2 mins to call them.

Good luck with that. They’ll get there when they get there. Most likely by the time they get there someone else would have hit it or a vulture would already be on its second course. Stop being so dramatic.

You’re the dramatic one, sweetie, thumping your chest about how you hit animals and leave them to die.

Resident Canada geese aren't migratory birds, so they shouldn't be covered by the migratory bird act.

Where did I say that, sweetie? I’m not the OP nor the PP you were arguing with...

Who can’t wait for geese to cross the road?? Wow. Your lack of empathy is concerning.

[Anonymous]

The biggest outrage in this thread is that OP only ran over ONE goose.

I dream of running over entire flocks of geese with one of those giant tractor lawnmowers they use to mow golf courses. The kind where it tows like outrigger mowers behind it and to the sides, mowing a swath 30 feet wide at a time.

That's what I'd want to drive over geese with.

Can't wait for them to get IN the road, so I can run them over!

I've been a birder for a very long time. No one I know in the birding community would be upset about what op did. Geese are taking over and in many cases it would be very unsafe to stop your car after an accident with an animal. The hysteria is ridiculous.

I’m a birder too. (Hi!) Yes, Canada Geese are about on the same level as house sparrows. I’m not a fan of causing any animal to differ, though.

+1. The biggest mystery of this thread is why some people think they’re Lenny Bruce.
