I don't understand why people want to protect the geese so much! There are a lot of them already! I remember when I was young, we rarely saw them except during migrating. They were cool then. Now they are noisy pooping machines. I'm soft-hearted, but if I can't safely brake for animals, then I don't. I feel bad for all parties involved in this incident, except for the geese.
I believe that is a violation (Federal) of the migratory bird act to kill or harass and annoy a goofy goose.
