Hi.
My name is Debbi.
I'm a blogaholic.
It's been....
errrrr... a long time since I last posted a blog.


Now... on a very serious note.

There is a golf course down the road from where I live that several families of geese live on.

Since I've moved here, I've followed the progression of them and the baby geese,via photography.

I was shocked and appalled when I saw one of the geese with an arrow shot thru it's side.

It was walking the course with a broken off bright orange arrow sticking out of it's left side.

I called the ASPCA and they were aware of it.
Said they were able to remove a good portion of the arrow.
Thing is... the goose will die if the whole arrow is removed.

Someone has been randomly taking target practice on my geese.

I say my geese,because I have tracked them and photographed them for a long time now.

Yesterday,another goose was spotted with an arrow shot into it's side.

The ASPCA was there trying to catch it to help it last evening.

Today... on my way to the store... to my sadness and horror,I saw another goose with an entire arrow shot thru it walking about on the golf course.

Again the ASPCA was promptly notified.

I took a series of photos starting from the first goose which have been given to the authorities and press.


Please say a prayer that whoever the monster is who is doing this gets caught.

Thanks.

What the hell is wrong with people? Probably some teenagers who were not taught properly by their parents. I know it wasn't my kid...not this time!

Sorry I haven't updated.
The geese were rescued by the Special ASPCA Division and taken to a Veterinarian Specialist/Surgeon and 2 are doing well.
One didn't make it,though.
It was real sick last time I saw it.
It had infection set in so I have been told.
No more arrow incidents have occurred.
I ride by every day and evening to check the geese out.
With hope, the cruelty has ended.
Thanks for have taken the time to read this post.

Quoting: Originally posted by NightNurse Update: The ASPCA and Special units,as well as Police monitoring will be in the area 24/7 now. I just got off the phone with the Special Division ASPCA and there is fear now that whoever is targeting the geese may go after larger targets. The community is in fear of it's children,elderly,and pets. Apparently, about a year ago,there was an isolated incident involving larger targets with arrows. Just exactly what happened is not being disclosed. The news just today got released about it. The community is outraged and in panic fear. There will be a community meeting this evening.

InHuman Cruelty by Humans.

Think that's the only sort going on these days. Even most animals have their limit.

Just had a conversation with another lovely older lady who also has ahd enough of all the emphasis on "Understanding" "Tolerating" and "Not Judging" If nothing is wrong then what's right?

I Don't Do Understanding when it comes to wickedness, evil and cruelty. I understand it fine -enough to understand I want to stop it and stop it from happening.

Could at least catch his goose supper and kill it and eat it properly not let it wander round with a arrow stuck in its neck or body. I hate it when i drive oversomething and its not dead. I still don't leave it wandering around or flapping in the street.

What happened to humanity and being a little above the animals and beasts because of concience, social civilisation and intelligence. I think we are getting lower every day.
