Reply #7: During the hunting season

[Goldeneye]

my dad and I caught a cackling goose that had been shot through the wing. Its mate was with it still, but she/he ran off as we approached. I felt so bad for both of them. There such pretty little birds I can't even imagine wanting to shoot one of them (It was probably a mistake, seeing that its hard to judge their size from a distance). We got the little guy to an wildlife rehab center and the lady there cleaned him up, but obviously his wing wasn't going to work anymore. From what I've heard she has other small geese and he's doing ok now.
