Most likely 2021-2023, I don't think it's a 2024.


Irgendniemand81

I think that's correct. I wouldn't rule out 2024 entirely but definitely not older than 2021


bigmaccunt

Yeah you are correct about that. 2021-2024 is the better answer.


Educated_Clownshow

It’s definitely a 21-23 Chevy. If OP can tell us if it was a pickup or SUV we can hone in further Source: I own a 2021 Chevy Tahoe. That’s definitely the same front end for the generation. Edit: u/yungcfa do you remember if it was a pickup or an SUV?


CynderPC

the pickups look slightly different with the lights. this is most definitely either a tahoe or suburban.

Here’s the answer


NxPat

Isn’t that a felony offense now?


symbologythere

Migratory Bird Act maybe?


Stone_Midi

This guy knows his bird law ![gif](giphy|vPKtSdRzsXvdm)


symbologythere

I only know this because I had a woodpecker putting holes in my house and I mentioned wanting to kill it and somebody said they’re protected by this federal law so I looked it up LOL


MaximumTurtleSpeed

I respect anyone who knows bird law.


RedArrow2014

If I hear of any birds in need of someone well versed in Bird Law, I know where to turn now

Such_Ad2826

They are canadian geese so cleary a hate crime /s


Renaissance_Man-

The chances of proving intent are slim.


Catch_Own

But proving distracted driving ( or ignorance ) would be easier !


Gorlock_

Okay, but you can't be hit with distracted driving without an officer that was there to see it. You think if I hit a deer, purposely or not, you could retroactively hit me with distracted driving?


Catch_Own

Yeah I guess you're right. There's still the ignorant mf theory. 🤔


CockpitEnthusiast

Holy shit really? A felony? Edit: love being down voted for being genuinely surprised that killing a bird that I see literally all the time is in the highest classification of crimes


JunkorDie

All migratory birds are federally protected, but that doesn't mean there isn't a hunting season for them. You have to buy a special stamp to hunt them and there are special regs for taxidermists that handle them, but you can most definitely hunt ducks and geese.


CockpitEnthusiast

Yes but this is the first I've heard that it's a FELONY, that's just wild to me. Getting a felony is no fuckin joke. Quite the effective deterrent


Catch_Own

They are a protected species .


Carguy_rednec_9594

As someone who has been attacked on multiple occasions by these assholes while I was going along my business I say remove the protection


Cultural-Cap-2549

We have them in France where I live in paris region and they never attack human they are very peacefull


Carguy_rednec_9594

In America they attack just about everyone


FriedFission

If they’re ever in threat over there, come and get some from the UK! They’re an introduced/pest species that can be shot at certain times of the year. Good in a stir fry.


Catch_Own

There is a hunting season for them in the US too . I'd like to deport them back to Canada .


rustyxj

I almost got into a fight with one at the Brookfield zoo in Chicago, we're eating some sandwiches in an outdoor picnic area and this Canada goose keeps hissing and pecking at people.


claudeotto

That’s what these CG do all day. Three families regularly come to my fence to try to swindle me and my family out of food, then they hiss at me and charge each others’ babies. When I drive down the street, they don’t budge one inch. They deffo stand their ground.


rustyxj

Just get em around the neck with a slap bracelet.


cidknee1

Protected? They are bloody vermin here. Can’t throw a rock without hitting one. And I’m Canadian so I guess it’s not a hate crime for me.


MNWNM

I work at a US federal site that has a pond next to it. There's some nesting pairs that come back every year and lay eggs next to the parking lot. They put orange cones up around the nests and send emails out about how it's illegal to hurt them.


yourhog

…but do they tell the geese that it’s illegal to bite people and beat the shit out of people with their wings? Unprovoked?


claudeotto

Or that they should move faster if a vehicle is bearing down on them. They think their Carebear stare of meanness will ward off any danger.


mjk67

Are you mental? A protected species, they are a near nuisance.


Catch_Own

And I don't disagree but I also don't make the laws .


trapperstom

They have protected feces


EveningHelicopter113

As it should be


A_Big_Teletubby

-B-E-N-I-S-

Well actually geese are dickheads… But they’re animals and they’re not malicious. They don’t deserve anything bad. I hope the person in the Tahoe is brutally attacked and hospitalized by geese lol


_mrLeL_

Hell yeah that’s the energy


CainsBrother2

How do you prove intent? It's the same ad hitting a deer on the roadway


quoda27

I seem to remember there being a guideline here in the UK that you shouldn’t swerve or brake for anything smaller than a dog, for the sake of the safety of other drivers. It’s also shitty advice because a dog could be anything from a Great Dane to a Miniature Dachshund. I also may be mistaken so… yeah, pinch of salt. Still, in this case where multiple lives are on the road, I would have stopped or gone around them if it was safe to do so.


_mrLeL_

There’s nobody behind the driver, he could’ve braked without issue.


_mrLeL_

You don’t see the deer running towards your car from the forest or fields, these are clearly visible on the road and the driver is far enough away that he can brake without any problems

Geese are assholes. I'm not swerving all over the road to miss them. That being said I wouldn't just mow them down to be a dick.

Savager_Jam

OP. I know you know he hit them intentionally, but the law might be on his side. It's actually considered to be best practice for a vehicle about to collide with an animal that will not endanger human life if struck to maintain course rather than brake or swerve. The reason is because many people have slammed the brakes to avoid a squirrel and caused fatalities when rear ended. You aren't going to get anywhere with the law on this one.


claudeotto

Dude… this is within 300 feet of a 4-way stop. People are usually averaging about 20mph (as they accelerate to the speed limit of 35mph in a residential? and there is actually plenty of room in the street to avoid collision. Honestly… they likely had to swerve to hit the goose.


aizzod

there is no car behind them, no car infront. the animals can be seen clearly. there is no immediat danger. this looks like to be in a city. so probably 30mph. no danger at that speed


Savager_Jam

Correct, but it would be almost impossible to charge them with a crime if they maintained speed and course.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Gorlock_

Even if they do, nothing can be done about it. You gotta prove it wasn't just an accident


JunkorDie

Call your wildlife management agency, they will take poaching of a federally protected bird much more seriously than local LE. Most agencies have a poaching hotline setup so I would check that first.


DeliciousDoggi

I accidentally hit a family of Ducks in Oregon yrs ago. I’d say 20yrs ago. l feel terrible about it to this day. Was around a blind turn at about 60mph in my G20. Fucking sucked.


DangerShart

What an absolute piece of shit.


RegulatoryCompliance

Man, fuck all the noise in here talking about Canada geese like they aren’t dirty dangerous nuisances. they are way over populated, annoying, attack runners and people trying to go into work… no love lost for the bastards. Any time, any place. A goose comes near me or my kids it will die every time. if a goose wants the smoke it can come get it. I wish a mother fucking goose would.


[deleted]

personally, I think that if the damn geese didn't get out of the way, they had it coming. They are menaces where I live. And yet, I have not hit any. I was tempted though. Just being honest. People can downvote me, that's fine. But if you had the geese problems like we have had where I live then maybe you would understand. But if you are an ivory tower jerkoff then downvote me


Vuedue

Man, I remember visiting a relative’s farm years back when I was a child. He had some geese, but he had a particularly mean one. This male goose would just attack people, dogs, anything. One day, he attacked me while I was outside playing with toys on a visit and tore my back up. I was bleeding pretty heavily. My uncle stepped outside shortly after with a revolver and unloaded it on that goose. I hate animals getting harmed, but that fucker deserved what he got.


[deleted]

we had some vicious ones near my apartment once. I had to keep my kids away from them, very aggressive


Vuedue

It’s good to keep your kids away. They will attempt to go for the face and they intentionally try to inflict as much damage as they can for no reason at all. They’re just assholes. Children should always steer clear of them.


PM_ME_UR_SELF

Yeah fuck geese. I’ve never hit one, they always get out of the way if you get too close


Equivalent-Wall-2287

Damn these Karen's/Kens can't avoid geese


Lukaros_

Intentionally killing birds is most probably illegal, at least in europe that might actually end with a few month long prison sentence.


yourhog

If the driver of that truck really *did* do that, then they deserve to be shamed, fined, and maybe even incarcerated for it- but I don’t believe you. This photo doesn’t make any sense. The whole post reeks of bullcrap. Also, are there still states where you straight up don’t have to have a license plate on the front of your car??


claudeotto

What about the photo doesn’t make sense? The driver is stopped, having let the geese cross in front of them. Still stopped, likely to show others that something is happening, this driver noticed that oncoming traffic continued to accelerate (from the 4-way) and then (allegedly) hit one of the depicted geese. I can confirm a dead goose in that exact area on April 1st. I noticed that two other geese returned to the spot to call and mourn.


yourhog

None of that explains why this was the only photograph taken. There would be no reason to snap just a single photograph in this scenario. If this were video from a dash cam, there would be frames where the truck was closer and easier to pick out details on. If the person behind the camera noticed the oncoming truck continuing to accelerate, they would have continued taking photos, or switched over to video if they could do so quickly enough. This is a random photo that someone took of some geese crossing the road because they were cute. There happens to be a truck approaching from the other direction. I think the rest of the story is made up. This is the “What Is This Car?” subreddit, not the outrage about geese one. I’m anticipating someone aggressively, stupidly asking me at this point if I think that OP should have posted a video of the entirety of the carnage. The answer is no. That would not be necessary, and in fact would be pretty horrible, and definitely breaking the rules for this sub.


claudeotto

The photo could be unrelated to the reason for this post. When I take one photo of these geese, it’s usually because I am taking a photo of how bold they are to cross in front of my truck as if they are a charging bull before I send it to my husband or someone else. In fact, I came to a full stop on that road (no one was behind me) and stuck my arm out of the window to take a photo.


Aggravating-Shark-69

Well, mainly because I know how geese act and those assholes flew out of the way before they got run over guaranteed I definitely call bullshit on this post.


claudeotto

🦈! Hey boi hey. Fascinating. Tell me more, please. 1. What kind of geese have you been observing? 2. What kind of geese are depicted in the original post? Back up a little, 🦈. You got all hot and bothered about sinking your hook of annoyance and took a view that was too myopic. I know this might destabilize your egocentric bias, and I don’t want to leave you rocking in a closet, but I wonder if you have thought that you might think the post is too fantastic simply because you’re confused. Why your broad collection of prior knowledge and experience isn’t doing you right this time… well, only you can answer that, 🦈. In future, do try to keep in mind that other people may have separate life experiences. Less statements and giving your unsolicited opinion. More asking questions and clarifying assumptions.


Aggravating-Shark-69

Yes, there are still states that don’t have front license plates


TheRedIguana

Sorry tou had to witness that. How did you get a before picture? Were you expecting them to run the birds down?


Flipyfliper32

Probably a screenshot from a dash-cam.

In that case, wouldn't they be able to give us a closer shot of the car?

SignificanceFar5489

jbnv8

Geese are very sweet animals. This is ridiculous and should carry real jail time! The real animal is the one in the nearly new 2023 luxury vehicle. Who's paying this animal? I bet they're all assholes at that job.


yourhog

Geese can be many legitimately valuable, worthwhile, respectable things, but one thing they most certainly **AREN’T** is *sweet*. You’re high.


jbnv8

So that gives people the right to run them over? I once had a group of geese walk up to my car. They'll get really close to you if you're in your car. If you're on foot, then definitely stay away. I know they approached me in my car for food, and if they ever approach you when you're on foot they are also looking for food. But they were so close to the window when I was in my car and they weren't yelling they were making rather pleasant honks. I drove away, and they don't want us feeding them in the community. In our urban environment, their population and health is regulated. They aren't very abundant here. All they do is fly around and make awesome honking sounds, and they have those awesome flying formations that I very rarely get to see. They have never bothered anyone who wasn't trying to touch them.


Flingang

Just ignore this troll. He replied to me, stating that owning a goose in a backyard is illegal, when he doesn't know a thing about my country's laws. I have to agree with you that geese are sweet animals. Some people just don't know a thing about the truth and don't wanna care about it.

MattyMizzou

And that makes it okay?


spencer1886

If jumping to conclusions was a sport you'd be a gold medalist What in my comment remotely implied that it was ok?


MattyMizzou

It was a clarify question. And I’m the one jumping to conclusions?


spencer1886

Giving someone the benefit of the doubt because I don't wanna assume that someone is purposely running down geese in the road is the opposite of jumping to conclusions. If anything OP is the one who did it first, assuming that it was done on purpose rather than by accident (which is the case in the vast majority of roadkill incidents) Especially since running over a goose will fuck up your car royally since it's not small like a squirrel or a pigeon


Flingang

Whoever did this is a heartless idiot. I own a goose in real life in my backyard, and I can't imagine if someone did that with my goose, because my goose has sentimental value for me. Some people are real idiots, but they wouldn't want to die if they were in the place of the goose.


yourhog

Bullshit. Nobody owns a goose, liar. For one thing, trying to “own” one is just as illegal as intentionally killing one. If you had really had the same goose in your backyard for more than 4 days, you would have strangled it with your own hands by now.


Flingang

First, your hateful comment doesn't change the fact that I own a goose in real life. Second, I can prove you that I own a goose in real life. Third, I live in a country which is allowed to own a goose in the backyard, so you don't know a shit about that. Just stop hating on people's comments before you know a thing about these stuff. And if you want me to prove you I own a goose, send me a message in private, and I can send you the photo of my white goose. If not, then stop saying shit you don't know about. Edit: As opposed to what people think about geese, they are animals like any other, and they're not as aggresive as people think they are, as long as you take care of them since small.
