I hit a goose and now my neighborhood is at war

Dear smiley face poster,

Please take your inventive imagination to another forum where you will be more appreciated. Or better, put that creative talent to work writing the Great American Novel instead of wasting yourself here.

Thank you.

And: don't make animal control come out while the animal is suffering; just man-up and do the right thing.

What??!!!?? How should this euthanasia be carried out?!! Do tell.

You're kidding, right? You mean to tell us you've never rung a goose/duck's neck, or at least witnessed it?? Never even been to the eastern shore of MD??

Sheesh - suburban people - you don't even realize how small the little bubble you live in really is. YouTube to your rescue (don't panic - the bird in the video is already dead): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_iS_dUiKCk

I've done this probably more than a thousand times in MD; it doesn't harm the crippled bird and is the humane thing to do.

More than a thousand times??? How is that possible unless you an animal control officer?

Grew up in the city, but spent nearly every winter weekend, since I was a kid, on goose hunts in Maryland.

All those geese are po’d that your development built all these roads and houses all over their nice woodland. Serves you right.

Actually, the lake that attracts them, and is the reason they are there, is man made.

Geese love near water, geese don't live in "woodlands" Einstein, but thanks for playing.

Geese are among the very few bird herbivores. Haven’t you ever seen flocks in fields? But thanks for playing.
