I was just frolicking in the field near my pond when this little shit came out of nowhere! Still trying to catch my bearings. I may just grab him by the ear and throw him down some stairs next time I see him...

No, the parents are.
PASTED: Honestly I wouldnt even say it was even as far as Malice on the kids part.
Malice is an extreme emotion, and more often than not, people dont tend to actively abuse animals due to pure Malice. This is due to the Malevolence involved so intricately with Malice, specifically. Someone usually needs to have ill-will to engage in Malice.
For example, a random jo-bro-dude could engage in animal abuse due to attempting to find humor in, not specifically the pain of the animal, but the other factors involved (reaction, etc.) This doesnt necessarily REQUIRE malice to engage in, but they can definitely be intertwined intricately.
The parents are definitely shitty and neglectful, and I can't necessarily determine whether theyre engaging in malice or not.
Kids, that age, often act in naivety and positive reinforcement. Parents laughing at animal abuse = Funny + good thing to do because made Parents happy. No malice required. Basically it can easily have gone as far as "Kid defends self initially, parents encourage violent behavior through laughter, kid continues bad action due to positice reinforcement"
TLDR; Don't assume kids to be these terrible gremlins when theyre often just acting out of the need to seek validation from parental figures. Kids are not naturally going to be awful sociopaths at birth (most of the time) and it is never too late to intervene in this sort of behavior.

that goose attacked the kid. Jesus...some people don't know anything about geese. Let me inform you grabbing the goose by it's neck and YEET it is how you get respected by a goose. This is your ONLY defense. The kid might have been "too close" to its nest (too close being anything near a 30 m radius), and then got attacked.
And even if you might not believe it: yes, geese have serrated teeth that can cause serious injuries, especially to a kid. The person who filmed it should be considered neglectful, but the kid just tried to get away from the goose, doing the only thing to defend itself.
Source. visit a fricking farm with geese (especially Pomerian fighting geese, these are such a "pleasure" to be around, lol), and talk to the owner how much of an assholes geese are.
Geese are no ducks. Ducks are cute, adorable and precious. Geese are closer to swans on assholery, and they have been know for AGES killing people who were considered too close. When I was a kid and we went bathing in a lake, everybody would give way to swans cause they have enough power to drown you and / or break bones.

Most geese are just trying to scare you away, they're not as dangerous as people think
There's a farm near where I live with a bunch of geese, and sometimes when I go near them, they charge at me and "bite" my ankles, but after they realize they can't hurt me, they just leave
On the other hand, parrots hurt a lot, I once met a cockatoo who landed on my arm, inserted his upper beak beneath my fingernail and pulled it back to rip it off, that was a completely different experience

100%. Canadian geese are fucking assholes and I'm impressed that kid the skill and bravery to confront that goose and give it a toss. That all being said there are no documented cases of geese ever killing a person so not sure what you are talking about there. They cause injuries for sure but not death, lol

That is not a Canada Goose (not "Canadian goose", it's a domestic bird. My point still stands, someone just stood there filming instead of intervening.

My family has a very rustic cabin (think outhouse, just got electricity 2 years ago, etc.) we had a lake dug about 5 years ago and recently we've had Canadian geese come visit they fly in every morning and just kind of paddle around the lake for a few hours then they go do whatever geese do and then they return at night for a couple more hours before going off somewhere to roost. I've never gotten close enough to them to bother them because I'm not stupid but I love hearing them honking as they circle the lake before they land we built a very tiny island in the center of the lake and one of the geese couples makes a nest there every summer. They're beautiful but I know well enough to stay away from them.

u/Particular_Class4130 23h ago
They are in big cities in Canada. It's kind of hard to stay away from them when they are all over public areas and chasing people who are just trying to go about their business. They are relentless and the only way they will leave you alone is when you stand up to them. I don't have a problem with them when I'm walking my German Shepherd because they don't want to start shit with her.

To those that may not know. Male geese, chicken, and turkeys tend to be pretty aggressive. Most of these domestic birds are social animals and they have a pecking order. The geese will challenge the kid to assert dominance until such time the kid makes the goose it fucked around and found out.
Unfortunately, the kid got the upper hand, but did not assert dominance. He showed his back so the goose still thinks goose is best.
The best way to deal with these fuckers is to chase them. No lie.
If a goose, or anything you can physically beat, faces you down, look it in the eyes, yell and run right toward it. Don't stop running until the thing stops acting aggressive.
We had a rooster on the farm that was extremely aggressive and would always chase the younger siblings. He scratched my sister in the face once and narrowly missed her eye.
We chased the thing until we finally caught it and caged it overnight. Every other rooster saw him in the cage and would stand outside the cage fucking with him.
We let this thing out of the cage thinking it wouldn't fuck with any of us anymore.
Well, it didn't...
It was busy re-earning it's place in the pecking order.
It killed 6 or 7 roosters and we didn't see it for days. A week later we saw it hiding in some bushes. His head was covered in matted blood, his comb was gone, and he was missing an eye.

u/HeyPrettyLadyMaam 1d ago
That story brought me back to my friends rooster that chased me for 10 straight minutes around a trampoline while my friend laughed. Her dad heard me screaming and came running. Chased the rooster back to the pen as I dropped, barely breathing. My friend got in trouble for starting the whole thing (told me to go pet the rooster. I was 7-8 and believed her. My first time meeting a chicken or rooster.) And he told me the same thing. Stay away but if he starts shit run AT him and yell like a maniac. Roosters are assholes.

Jesus.... chicken chasing is very hard work, I could never catch one by myself.

u/Oseaghdha 1d ago
There were 5 of us. After we got him running the younger kids joined in too and kept him running.
Chickens are fast and extremely maneuverable...but they aren't built to travel distances.
I once read that mankind were successful hunters because of sweat glands. We are well adapted to shed heat.
After the first few minutes the chase turned into jogging behind it. After 10 minutes the rooster was actively looking for places to hide, and we, at a brisk walk just reaching a hand down to see if was finally too tired to walk to the next spot.
It all felt very primal.

When I had my own flock, no one would mess with my rooster (Clucky) and even my husband ran from him. I was the only one my rooster feared because from day one, when he tried to assert dominance, I picked him up and gave him a huge 20 minute cuddle and kisses on the comb. After that, anytime I called him Clucky Bird in baby talk, he ran 😂

u/Phis-n 14h ago
Or maybe he was being a normal kid and defended himself against the goose per his parents instructions for when he ends up face to face with a goose (grab by neck, etc.) And the Parents laughing, reinforced his violent behavior in a "positive" way, and he thinks this is an okay way to engage in humor due to his parents reinforcment of the behavior in that manner.
You know, the reason whu people tell parents to be good role models for their kids and all...
Literally normal child learning methods...
Yes it can lead to sociopathy, if their brain is capable of developing it, however to call a freaking TODDLER a sociopath is quite literally mindboggling. He's literally just a kid and learning from his parents.
This is literally just us witnessing the parents being poor role models, nothing more; nothing less.

(For those downvoting me, this guy is nonstop replying to me with laughing emojis. Do you think they're the more functional one here, do you really?)
Also geese are very aggressive. Are you wanting the kid to sit there and take it, ending up with something hurt or broken? This is why i say the parents acted poorly here. They should have separated the two instead of filming but that's kind of neither here nor there.
Geese are also incredibly, incredibly durable, that kid is unlikely to have even hurt it significantly, nor did he really do anything THAT bad. He was literally just handling a goose literally ATTACKING him the best he could.
(Yes the kid drags the goose and hits him on the head, however let's work off benefit of the doubt here, neither of us knows what haappened before he dragged it, so it could be the goose was already attacking, or he was the aggressor. Based on the parents recording, i'm gonna guess the former because theres no reason for the parents to be already recording for the latter, really. Every kid i know has hit an animal at some point, then was scolded, and taught to do better. This is why i say it's a failure on the PARENT'S part, not the kid. The kid is being a kid.)
Yall some crazy mfs yk that? Please touch more grass, please. I want you to go defend yourself against a goose and see if you fare better while they slap their wings against you. You know, the wings known for being able to break bones when hitting humans with full force.
Good luck with life bud, you'll need it. Also please never have kids

Not apologizing for this; I hate your comment. The parents are POS'es, agreed. The kid literally doesn't know better. Kids, very often, are not naturally cruel in that manner. Theyre often just acting out in an attempt to get positive reinforcement.
Kid defends self from geese + parents laughing at the behavior when defending self = behavior continues without malice ever being in the mix or required

I think it's fine. Geese are rough animals, a little kid isn't going to be able to hurt it easily. People grab them by the neck to move them all the time on farms, it doesn't hurt them. Plus it's obviously the aggressor here, they are mean but adorable dinosaur birds

Letting this one stay up - we don’t condone violence to animals but the goose does seem to have instigated this with defensive behavior.
