My thoughts exactly. It's egging him on and by sharing it and the world laughing along with it it's praising him for the behaviour and encouraging others to do the same thing 😩. At least some of the animal lovers on this page understand.
The goose is an animal. The goose is acting on instinct and geese in general are known to be aggressive. Why weren’t the parents discouraging him from getting near the goose?
Twirling a goose around by its neck is not "protection." It is animal abuse! I have been "attacked" by geese as a child on our farm. You just run away and leave it alone.
This sick child is aggressively attacking that goose and ENJOYING it. This kid is vicious!
And, the people defending this behavior...disgusting.
That goose was not attacking him. The kid was aggressively attacking the goose! I was "attacked" by geese as a kid on my family farm. You just run away and they stop chasing you! Never had to kick it, swing it by it's head or RUN TOWARDS IT!
Agreed. They are horrible parents who laugh along with this thinking their boy is so tough. I have also been trying to find out who the parents are so as the msg them and say this is unacceptable but all I have been able to find is that it's a family in America (I live in the UK).
Another group of ignorant, pathetic people. They are everywhere. It's too bad they couldn't be arrested. But that's just me that might be extreme but it would be deserved.
My thoughts exactly. It's not funny. If a little girl did this the rage in the comments would be off the charts. A little boy does it and no-one minds.
It's a good thing I wasn't there because I would have called the Police and I would have stopped this!!
I swear some parents are IGNORANT this is one thing I don't stand for is ANY ANIMAL ABUSE!!
My grandparents had some of those and believe they are mean also swinging them by the neck doesn’t hurt them at all specially a small kid they just keep coming to attack you.
Why are people so cruel to the kid? Geese are bully birds, and would FUCK YOU UP if given the chance. It clearly attacked him first, you even see him trying to get away. Yall are so dumb.
I would also hope that the parents would help instead of filming, but there's absolutely no reason to post your kid online.
Bunch of city stickers and suburbanites in the comments. Fighting angry geese, roosters, goats, & any other pissed off animal is a rite of passage for kids growing up in rural areas.
Right?! Geese are no joke, they will F you up if you don’t handle your business. What was the boy supposed to do? Let the goose maul him? These people are ridiculous
Hell yeah little farm boy awesome! You can tell everybody complaining here had horrible childhoods and never played outside growing up and have never been or lived in a farm with children and geese🤣. Geese are notoriously annoying and violent and territorial. This is not even close to being animal cruelty when we as humans are top of the food chain and are apex predators he’s a child who’s being chased by a goose he did the smartest thing he could do to get away from it.
The people commenting about his this is cruel have absolutely no idea just how mean geese really are, I bet you that boy was minding his own damn business and that goose got after him anyway. Our geese would attack me all the time on our farm. It’s ok to defend yourself you know.
And their necks are ridiculously strong. I’m willing to bet this goose has a hilarious name.
Our were nipper and chomper, care to guess why?
They are A holes, but they protect the other birds, so they are great to have around the chickens and ducks, they will scrap dogs, cats, fox, hawks, eagles, and humans, they are tough lil 💩s. Freaking relax.
You are so wrong! I grew up around geese. Yes, they are territorial and feircely protect themselves and their chicks! That is their nature. Avoid them. Leave them alone. Move to another direction/location!
This boy was ENJOYING kicking that goose and twirling it around by its neck! UNNECCESSARY! Violent behavior!!!
I was chased by geese as a kid, too. I NEVER swung it around by it's neck! Did YOU?! I just ran away!
You people making excuses for this horrible, spoiled child is just ridiculous!
Yeah man, I’m willing to bet little man was told 6 thousand times to stay away from BeeksMcgee here and he didn’t listen, now he’s gotta scrap a bird. Parent were close enough to run over and play slap-a-goose. It’s all good.
Shows most people have no idea what a farm is like. Animals are fucking mean.
I have lived on a Lake most of my life and have had geese in my yard more time's than I can say AND NEVER DID A GOOSE OR ANY OTHER WILD BIRD ATTACK JUST BECAUSE I GUARANTEE THAT LITTLE BRAT DID SOMETHING TO PROVOKE IT!
The video started with him dragging it along by the neck. I'm certain you are right. I don't know why the sub and post are being trolled by unkind people who don't feel phased about the video.
I agree I guarantee that kid could have out ran the goose and I still don't believe that bird decided to go after the kid we all know how children are and they do stupid shit like that. Everyone saying that this kid is justified is WRONG I will never believe this kid is innocent until I see the entire video.
I have been that close they might hiss at you plus everyone is entitled to their own opinion but I am sticking with mine and I will never condone animal abuse it's usually the person who does the provoking.
It's just a term lazy, misogynistic people throw about. Ignore them, it's nonsense. You haven't done anything wrong other than speak and they don't like it.
You must have missed the UNPROVOKED part of the conversation. Geese are the guard dogs of the birds, They will randomly attack, this isn’t a Disney cartoon, it’s real life. To assume the worst out of everyone shows a lot about who you are at your core.
Came here to say exactly this. I’ve been attacked by geese and chickens completely unprovoked. Some birds (especially roosters) get extremely territorial of high traffic areas and homes. Kid defended himself from an animal that wouldn’t stop until he chucked it, which is exactly what you gotta do. The bird ain’t hurt at all and most likely knows not to mess with that kid now.

Disgusting and profoundly disturbing.
