Moments later, the goose was found dead on the ground. It was apparently strangled.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">This is the time of year when pods of Canada geese and their recently hatched offspring are moving around. Their parents are protective. There are ways to not provoke the Canada geese, especially when they are with their goslings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Canada geese have been known to mate for life. So, the loss of a parent could have devastating effects.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC eTIW sUzSN \">While the animal has had some criticism for dumping in open spaces, bird lovers say Canada geese are a protected species, and that it&#8217;s against the law to harm or kill them.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 2026 WABC-TV.
