The gulf between humans and animals is not unbridgeable. See how the guy’s geese react when he pretends to faint. And there are other videos along the same line, so it looks like your geese really care about you.
And remember: they saved Rome from the Gauls.
There’s no help, like the help geese give. 🙂
I had a job that took me into farm country, on occasion, and geese could be tougher to deal with that dogs. They were very territorial and wouldn’t take no for an answer. I actually had one chase me, once, and the only way I was able to dissuade the goose was to extend my arms as if I were a giant goose, and chasing it away. I was also chased by a skunk, on one occasion.
I guess they didn’t know your good qualities.
My inner waterfowl is not nearly as nice as the rest of me. 🙂
BTW,did you shake the skunk?
No, all these years later, I’m still bathing in tomato juice. 🙂
Nah, I got away. I was 25-30 feet away when I saw it, and tried to scare it away, but it decided to turn the tables. I made it to my truck and left the immediate area.
Some years ago, I had a skunk living nearby and decided to trap it and move it elsewhere. I borrowed a live trap and was assured that the skunk couldn’t raise its tail inside the trap, so it would be no problem. That afternoon, there was a very small skunk in the trap, small enough that it could raise its tail, so I had a problem. The skunk had been spraying prolifically.
The only thing left to do, was release it. I threw a blanket over the cage to shield myself from getting sprayed and opened the cage. When I put my gloved hands on the cage, the skunk came over to sniff my fingers. No reason to spray when there are fingers to sniff. I opened the cage and ran like hell. Soon the skunk had made its escape and I decided that trapping and relocating skunks wasn’t such a good idea. It was funny as could be.
