I WILL say.. I am shocked (now a days) that the guy didn't injure the goose.. Way too many people would have


Birds generally don't have much of an ability to "smell" so no hunting scent to trigger the behavior. If that is recent footage, it is nesting season and it was nesting most likely protecting a nearby nest from an obviously recognized predator (i.e. dog). Too many humans feed the damn birds so most of them don't see humans as being a threat unlike the dogs that chase them.

As for the guy not killing/injuring the goose... Canada geese are migratory birds and as such are federally protected.
