Hopefully this applies to insensitive Dog Owners that enjoy running their dogs at
flocks of geese/ducks to see them scatter haphazardly and increase their risk of injury. ==> http://www.animallaw.info/statutes/stusncodcary_raleigh.htm

Injured goose gets happy ending - Local & State - News & Observer
http://www.newsobserver.com/news/story/1111849.html
Brad the goose is back home with his mate, Angelina, thanks to volunteers with Carolina Waterfowl Rescue.
"He was honking inside his crate when we got [to the pond] and carrying on. He knew he was home and was anxious to see Angelina again," said Jennifer Gordon, director of Carolina Waterfowl Rescue. When the goose was released, "They ran to each other. It was very sweet. Some of the volunteers were tearing up."
The volunteers received the call last month about a goose with a nail through its neck at a pond in northeastern Charlotte. They think he was attacked with a nail gun.
After several weeks of attempting to capture the goose, volunteers netted him June 7 and took him to a local vet for surgery. The nail, which pierced the goose's esophagus, was removed. The wound has healed. Brad spent 10 days at the Carolina Waterfowl Rescue Center in Matthews resting and being treated with antibiotics.
"Our goal is always to get the animals back into the wild. At least this time we have a happy ending," Gordon said.
