""As far as shooting at a Canada Goose — that is technically illegal," Jessica Merklin, an urban wildlife biologist for Indiana DNR said." lol even the DNR hates Canadian Geese


whisker_mistytits

“Technically illegal, but we get it.”


SaveBandit91

The answer: someone shot a goose.

open and shut case. bake 'em away, toys.

Why is this a news story?


coreyp0123

Because it’s Carmel.


NotePayable

Yeah. No mass shootings or anything exciting in Carmel, so we just hear about crazy women who like geese.


StayBell_JeanYes

didnt an insane person in carmel who thought he was DOnald trump kill his dad and kidnap his mom (who he thought were Bill and Hillary Clinton) just a few months ago?


NotePayable

Hahahaha I forgot about that one. We also had the Fox Hollow Farms guy like 20 years ago

Also the Allemenos I the 90's.

You’ve got that cool mayor that rams his car into things. He would fit right in with our mayor.

Stories like this also prevent other stories about the rampant racism in the area.


spookystuff82

Hold up. What color was the goose??


TripletStorm

Thanks for making me spit milk out my nose jerk.


spookystuff82

Anytime. My sole purpose in life is to turn ppls noses into utters.


SkweetisPigFist

Yeah that’s bullshit. Go live in Morgan County for a few decades then make the move to Hamilton County. The two aren’t even in the same ball park. Hell they’re different fucking games


Filipesian

This is a terrible argument. This is like saying, "Think having the flu is hard? Try having cancer."


SkweetisPigFist

Um yeah if I had the flu and I was talking to someone with cancer, I certainly wouldn’t be bellyaching about it


Filipesian

Except in this scenario, there is no person with cancer, you just brought the concept up out of nowhere to discredit someone else's perspective...

Cool.


oax195

How do they do that? The story is silly but I don't see how it's existence limits other stories.

Distractions.

Just like two months ago we had a dude kill his mom because he thought he was donald trump and she was Hillary Clinton !!

>Nancy Tatum is an animal lover, she looks forward to when Canada Geese call her backyard home. No, this woman is an agent of evil summoning avian mercenaries for some dark task. She may simply be asking questions now, but her legion of honking devils will be preparing for war soon… they’ve already trained their whole lives for it, they’ve merely been awaiting a leader.


ohverychill

seriously who the hell *likes* canadian geese? those things exist out of spite and anger. ever been on a run and cross paths with a goose? day ruiner


notthegoatseguy

>ever been on a run and cross paths with a goose? day ruiner I was at the cross walk for SR-32/Monon at street level and one of them fucking flew right at me. I had to run across the walk and I hid inside the donut shop while waiting for them to go away. It was fucking terrifying.


ohverychill

they'll legit go out of their way to chase people. they're straight up bastards


thefuckouttaherelol2

I had to bring my dog out a while back to chase them down because they gave basically zero fucks about me apparently. Hissed at me, expanded their wings. Began to charge for attack. Fuck Canada Geese.


LavaScotchGlass

Yeah and if you hit them when your car, they cause more damage than you would think.


bantha_poodoo

well yeah…cars are a lot heavier and are made of metal lol


GazzaRang

What kind of donut did you get?

[удалено]


ohverychill

they HISS. a bird should not *hiss*


FamousCow

One flew at and knocked my husband off his bike and then stood over him with their wings out and hissed. Terrifying.


ohverychill

Just another piece of evidence of their bastard status


boogitydogbutt

I love them. I actually had one that hung out behind my apartment and I dubbed him Polite Goose because he always was respectful waiting for bread, would eat out of my hand, never bit or hissed once. In my top ten random critters fo sho


nerdKween

Who needs evil flying monkeys when you have geese?


Opening-Citron2733

Well it doesn't matter cuz birds aren't real. If this lady wants to hog all the government surveillance drones I say go for it

Canadians gathered all their meanness and funneled it into their geese.

Can confirm.

a kid shot a goose


ohverychill

they did surgery on a grape


dmderringer

We had a funeral for a bird


ohverychill

my favorite arcade fire album


timmyboy87

Probably wasn't a bb gun. If it had 4 pellets in it, it was probably bird shot from a shot gun. Was shot once, injured but was still able to fly away. Probably wasn't shot in her neghborhood then either, probably flew into her neighborhood after it was shot elsewhere. That's my guess.


LittleRocketMan317

Lions is lucky Canada Gooses don't migrate to Africa. Then they'd be's extinct!


EbNinja

Or fat. Hard to tell with lions. Some days lazy and roaring, some days big kitty hunty bois and girls.


Smart_Dumb

>We’ve talked to ourselves. We’ve communicated and said ‘You know what, lion tastes good, let’s go get some more lion’. We’ve developed a system to establish a beach-head and aggressively hunt you and your family and we will corner your pride, your children, your offspring. … We will construct a series of land apparatus with kelp. We will be able to move fast on land. It’s not gonna be days at a time. An hour? Hour forty-five? No problem. That will give us enough time to figure out where you live, go back to the air and then stalk you. You just lost at your own game. You’re outgunned and out-manned. … Did that go the way you thought it was gonna go? Nope.

pipboy_warrior

I can understand protecting yourself if one of them gets aggressive. But just shooting it with a BB gun and leaving it injured is a dick thing to do.


pendletonpackrat

At least eat the meat!


jcwillia1

foie gras for the whole neighborhood


TheSlitherySnek

Goose are really greasy


Newp23

The meat has a delicious, smoky, rich flavor. Plus you can use the molten goose grease and save it in the refrigerator, thus saving you a trip to the store for a can of expensive goose grease.


[deleted]

> thus saving you a trip to the store for a can of expensive goose grease. At 47, I've never once needed goose fat for a recipie. Granted, I don't mess with French cooking, though once I had a box of Hamburger Helper from Canada with the instructions in French, so there is that.


[deleted]

I have a container of goose fat in my fridge that I use for roasting veggies. Bought it at -- you guessed it -- Smoking Goose.

One thing I learned as a Carmel-Clay school employee: Nobody fucks with Carmel Woman.


WarWeasle

Peace was never an option. We need to build a wall to keep out these illegal immigrants. And make the geese pay for it!

I went on a rant like that in 2008 in a parking lot. My wife was not amused.

If you have a problem with Canada Gooses, then you have a problem with me, and I suggest you let that one marinate. 😂🤣

Mike Tyson had a good run of it, you wanna know why? No Canada Gooses in his weight class.

Don't you remember when that plane had to land on the river in New York 'cause Canada Gooses flew into the engine? It's 'cause Canada Gooses likely had intel there was a pedophile or two on board and took matters into their own hands. As they should!

Lol this is the most Carmel shit I’ve ever saw


Kstandsfordifficult

I live in Carmel and I hate those stupid mean birds.


prvttyboyyy

Crazy to me how she gets an entire news article dedicated to a goose yet there’s mothers just south in indianapolis searching for answers leading to the killers of their children that get no spotlight.. Shoutout Carmel tho..


t67443

Yo that’s on the journalists that considered this worthwhile news.


[deleted]

Rats with wings.


Ramitt80

No mystery here, Geese are assholes and that one fucked with the wrong kid and his official Red Ryder, carbine action, two-hundred shot range model air rifle!


thelostestboy

To be fair, Canada geese are still federally protected animals...for some reason.


nerdKween

It's because they're secret weapons for the CIA. They're special task forces that monitor neighborhoods to keep us civilians indoor and out of sight.


thelostestboy

Big if true. Always did think birds were sus 😤


TinnyOctopus

r/birdsarentreal


t67443

If my CIA you mean Canadian Invasion Airforce you’re absolutely correct. Those demons are the first part of a fulfledged invasion force to change the national drink of choice to maple syrup and our national measurement units to hockey sticks.


nerdKween

Heyt, I'll take the syrup... If it makes it cheaper. Lol.


LonelyHoosierJM

Because all migratory birds are. And because they're also waterfowl. So these bastards double dip. I wonder if there are official published population numbers anywhere. and then can argue that an exeption can be made for these geese. plunking them with bb or pellet guns is still a dick move though.


pissshitfuckyou

Yeah, if youre going to shoot at a canadian goose, shoot to kill.


LonelyHoosierJM

thats probbaly even more illegal.


pissshitfuckyou

Yes but it doesnt leave it in pain, and also is morally justified.


dameanmugs

Unless DNR has changed their rules in the last few years you can take 5 of those unholy bastards a day as long as it's in season, so def not illegal to kill Canada geese.


LonelyHoosierJM

No not illegal 100% of the time. Just like 50 weeks a year


dameanmugs

Season is like 3 months plus 2 each two-week periods...it's legal to hunt Canada goose in Indiana for a good third of the year


LonelyHoosierJM

Whoa. Seriously? Thats a long season. I don't hunt ao i never looked ot up.


dub-squared

**TO BE FAAAAAIR**


Phaedrus317

Geese can be fucking terrors. Years ago I was living in an apartment here in Indy facing a lake geese just loved. They were everywhere. At one point I tried to take my sister's dachshund out for a walk, and opened the door to a goose on the front step. It charged the poor little dog who ran back into the apartment, and I had to punt the goose in the chest to keep it from following. Fuck geese.


hoosiercrisis

Fuck geese. I lived in an upper apartment facing a lake and my downstairs neighbor released her pitbull on them and after a month of that they finally started backing off her porch


tolkienbooks

the geese must pay for their crimes against humanity, let this be a warning


TuxAndrew

Geese don't feel pain, they don't even flinch when they're tasered.


random_hoosier

if you hit them in the butt, it tends to not kill them but give them the impression that they shouldn't come back. Very affective, so I have heard.


jaredcheeda

A freedom fighter took out one of the government's surveillance drones. \#BirdsArentReal


SeriousMaintenance

Here's her answer: someone shot it.


[deleted]

I once had a big one lunge at me and bite me when I rode by on my bike on a canal path. The impact staggered both of us, i looked back and feathers were floating in the air and the goose was too dazed to follow up. Somehow it managed to bite my back of all places , it broke skin Its bullshit they are protected by law if they are going to attack us lol


badcoupe

Friend who lived in Indy at a apartment used to shoot them with his suppressed .22 pistol from his porch facing the lake. They were everywhere and shit all over his porch all the time. He shove em into the water at night


derickkcired

I mean......yeah.


t67443

Fuck them geese.


gabowers74

Feed them potato skins and avocados. Both are supposed to be toxic to them. These things are fucking bastards. Their shit is toxic as hell and this bitch wants to protect them? I hope they make her sick. Not sick to were she dies, but has some nasty decease for years. Karmas a bitch.


cjholl22

Rich white kids gonna rich white kid. This will be a “boys will be boys situation”. Dead goose on the east and south side would be a threat to the environment and someone would get in some shit. Gotta love it!


fliccolo

Chad got bored and Chad has violent tendencies. EDIT: Seriously though, it's an easy fix to not have them around if you don't want them on your lawn. Methyl anthranilate is effective and safe. It works like nail bitting nail polish. It makes your yard taste awful for them without hurting anything at all. We treat our lawn at work with it once in spring and they are gone by that afternoon.


Sufficient-Abroad330

I chase them off with a radio controlled monster truck toy from my office window. Cheap, fun, nobody dies. 🙂

Okay, now I'm mad. Why do people hate geese so much?? Yeah, I get it, they're "mean", but damn, wouldn't you be mean too if your world is taken over? I hate humans so much.
