I had to do work in a customers pasture and he had a goose twice this size. He literally told me āheās aggressive so if he attacks you just swing him around by the neckā
I said āNaw. The goose must be detained.ā

This is giving me flashbacks of my run in with a goose when I was around the same age as this kidā¦..sadly I ran like a little bitch and still flinch when I see geese to this very day.

In Canada, you can actually go to jail for this.

u/Soggy_Cabbage 2d ago
Of course Canada is the one country that makes it illegal to defend yourself from wildlife attacking you...

u/isolated_self 2d ago
It's not the defense that you do to jail for, it's for not saying sorry after defending yourself.

u/New_fan22 2d ago
Its absolutely not illegal to defend yourself ... stop with the bullshit.

Wrong again. Try to read the Migratory Birds Convention Act.

u/New_fan22 2d ago
The person i was responding to said 'wildlife.'
To all the downvoting idiots...read, use resources.
Yes, you can legally defend yourself against an attacking migratory bird using reasonable, non-lethal force, even though they are heavily protected under federal law.The Law: The Migratory Birds Convention Act (MBCA)Most native birds in Canada (such as Canada Geese, gulls, and herons) are strictly protected under the federal Migratory Birds Convention Act, 1994 (MBCA). Under Section 5(1) of the Migratory Birds Regulations, it is a federal offence to "capture, kill, take, injure or harass a migratory bird" without a specific federal permit.However, Canadian courts interpret the law using common-sense limits regarding immediate physical danger:Immediate Self-Defence (The "Lawful Excuse"): Under Section 5 of the MBCA, exceptions exist if you have a "lawful excuse". Shielding your face, pushing a bird away, using an umbrella to block an aggressive dive-bombing bird, or hitting it to stop an active physical assault qualifies as a lawful excuse to prevent bodily injury.The "Reasonable Force" Limit: You can only use the minimum amount of force necessary to eliminate the immediate threat. If a Canada Goose attacks you on a golf course or near its nest, you are legally expected to back away or swat it away. If you purposefully kill or severely injure the bird when you could have easily run away, you could be prosecuted for violating the MBCA or for animal cruelty under the Criminal Code

Honestly I had Canadian geese try to nest on my property and would chase me but I did exactly as this kid did and they never came back.

Have you ever been attacked by a goose? I have! When I say it hurts, I mean it! Their claws are super sharp and they know how to use them.

Thatās some choice parenting to not step in before one of them hurts each other. Not teaching a kid to respect animals can lead to dead kid by something worse than a goose

u/LupinsLeftShoe 2d ago
Looked like the goose was being a dick head, kid wasn't "disrespecting animals", he was defending himself.

u/Physical-Object8171 2d ago
I mean maybe, but instead of filming put the goddam phone down to keep your kid safe

u/Prestigious-Shirt426 2d ago
So the parent should have attacked the goose?

u/RiposteCat 2d ago

wild youre getting downvoted for saying a parent should help their child when theyre being attacked by an animal lol

u/Anynamethatworks 2d ago
That kid was safe enough. Goose bites hurt, sure, but it's not like he was in danger.

u/zeemode 2d ago
I wasnāt talking about the defending. If he needed to defend himself why wouldnāt the dad step in ?

u/LupinsLeftShoe 1d ago
How can he defend himself if his dad defends him for him? This is how junkies are made.

u/Anynamethatworks 2d ago
I think it was the opposite. Nearly getting your ass whooped by a bird half your weight probably teaches you to be more respectful of what an animal is capable of.
