Canadian geese are protected by federal migratory bird laws, however the geese that have taken up permanent residence are no longer migratory and should be treated as the menace they are, they pollute our waters and make some of our beaches totally unusable. There should be an open hunting season on any birds that haven't gone back to Canada by April first BUT I doubt any of our politicians have the nerve to propose such a bill.
Funny when given a picture to view how differently people will interpret it. I too think geese are messy & wouldn't want to have them in my back yard. However, I see no need to harm one deliberately.
It appears the goose in this pic was protecting it's mate because the person came to close to them. The goose to the left, who didn't attack could possibly be nesting.
Geese are one of the rare creatures who take a mate " for life" , making them even more protective of each other.
It appears staying your distance would be a better choice for this person next time around.

AND, they mess up putting greens on golf courses too!
Last year in a two-week span two of my playing buddies were attacked on the course at Nutters. Funniest thing that I've ever seen!
Reminds me of when my wife attacks me if I'm late. I feel for him.
Only a wuss would run. A well placed kick, or smack down, would teach that goose to keep his distance from me.

Its not the mate that's being protested, its the nest she is sitting on.
Agree with 8:17. They are nasty, worthless animals. They do nothing but crap all over the place. I, too, would like to know why they are protected.
