HUNTING IS NOT ALLOWED AT OUR CITY PONDS!!!
This goose was shot at our city ponds and left alive to suffer, with an arrow still lodged in its body. This is not hunting. This is irresponsible, inhumane, and completely unacceptable.
Responsible hunters understand the importance of ethical hunting practices, following the law, and ensuring animals do not suffer unnecessarily. There is absolutely no excuse for shooting an animal and leaving it behind to suffer.
This goose was not able to fly after being shot so no, it did not fly into the enclosed fenced in area.
If anyone has information regarding who may be responsible for this incident, please contact the Police Department.
