dog chasing city goose

[alxone]

so every time i take my dog to the park someone starts yelling at me about my dog . The thing is if they did not put the geese in the park my dog would not chase them . so what if she comes back with a mouth full of feathers .The dog is happy so im happy , to hell with those nasty city birds anyway . These people always say the same thing "Its not fair to the geese " , my question is how is it not fair ?
average size of a city french fry eating goose 20-30 lbs (dont forget there are always more than one goose)
size of my dog , 7 lbs ( she is restrained to a leash at all times )
Its not like i go chasing after the dumb as birds with the dog , she has till the end of the leash to catch one and thats it . Hell if any of the birds put up a fight my little dog is toast ! Yes if the dog actually jumps one the back of one i pull her off . But i really dont see the harm in letting my little dog chase a few birds around in circles .

so i guess the question is - is it wrong to let your dog chase city birds ??

dog in question

It's not the dog that is in question-it's the hand grenades and ammo that it's carrying while chasing the geese It's just not a level playing field.

I was just gonna say the same damn thing..

[Big Wall]

Screw 'em. You're fine.

next time let her off the leash and have at em!

or better yet, make a little saddle and tell people you are just test fitting before the first text flight for her

So when did they become "city geese"

Bad thing I see is if she connects and bird flies off she will need a parachute.

Anyway I live on property adjoining a small river and the village lake. There are geese there almost year round cept when it is just too freakin cold. It is unlawful to harass wildlife in Wisconsin also.

The geese are destructive and shit everywhere. Tell those tree huggers that you have to clean up after your dog in the park. And if they are so fond of the geese they should clean up after them.

They have wings they can fly away, tell anybody who gives you shit to piss off. In the place I work the Geese waldel they fast asses across the street if they don't get out of the way oh well am not slowing down. There are more geese here now then there were 10 years ago, and mulitpy like crazy

There are geese at the park where I take my dogs all the time. We let them off the leash and 2 of the 4 go chasing after them. These geese are always watchful and my dog has a long stretch to run after them, so they always take off with plenty of time. I don't see it as a huge problem because it's a school field and they shit everywhere anyway, so I figure I'm just helping out the district

That would be fun to watch! A small yippy dog running with all she's got wanting to catch a goose. Not sure if she would know what to do with it if she caught it!

Too bad molesting wildlife is frowned upon. I agree there are too many of them around, pooping on the golf courses and all.
