The papa goose would attack everyone who tried to walk in or out of the theater, the poor children. If it had been any other animal they would have relocated the nest, but since they were protected they had to make a "Caution Tape" zone around the nest and send out email warnings to their customers about how to try to avoid being attacked or bitten.
    rip.
    So they would rather endanger children than geese? That's mean!
    They should've just moved them carefully a little farther away, shouldn't be too stressful for either party.~~

    Geese are mean, but I like ducks.
    My aunt used to live in a rural area near a lake and it wasn't uncommon to see mama ducks with their ducklings just casually passing through and while they were a bit wary of humans, they wouldn't attack or anything, but I did see a mama duck beating the living shit out of a cat once. XD

    I remember one year this goose decided to nest on the side of a trail nearby my house, and if you came close to five feet from its area, it'd start hissing loudly, and trying to attack you, and there was NOTHING that anyone could do to pass by that goose. Only the bikers managed if they rode by fast, that'd give no time for the goose to get chasing you, but everyone else stopped using the trail altogether that summer.

    Canadian geese are the evil counterparts to the Canadians.

    I hate the bastards, they're massive and can do substantial damage to cars, I know first hand (see pics in spoiler, warning: contains a graphic image, if you can't deal, don't open)

    The video is not of my accident but it just goes to show how freaky they can be.

    Also, the car in the picture was only 2 months old at the time :'(

    Kangaroos aren't usually aggressive. In zoos they will eat from your hand no worries, in the wild they will avoid you mostly unless you have something they want, usually food. Roos are more annoying on the roads as no road sense - they jump out I front of cars especially at dawn and dusk. I've seen a lot of Asian tourists try to cuddle them ie arm around the neck - that's just asking to be kicked. here's a pic of me

    All animals are scary if you get them agitated enough

    I have to agree, I'm much more afraid of Canadian geese. The zoo in my town has kangroos, and you're actually able to walk through their exhibit which is really neat. They mostly keep to themselves.

    If the zoo had a goose exhibit though - you couldn't pay me to walk through them lol

    Is it against the law to bust a cap in a roos ass once it attacks your car?
