Officials in New York say a golfer beat a goose to death with a golf club in a misguided attempt to put it out of its misery.
The man beat the goose in a way that “almost looked like he was chopping wood,” Ross said. The golfer walked away, turned and saw the goose was still moving, then went back and delivered a killing blow, the SPCA chief said.
Instead of killing the goose, he said the golfer could have called the police, or wrapped it in a towel and taken it to a vet. Officers took the goose’s carcass to a veterinarian, who said the bird’s chest was swollen from the original strike by a golf ball but the injury would not have killed it, Ross said.
