This was sent to us by Natalie Jarnstedt who works diligently on behalf of wildlife and domestic animals. Natalie was able to rescue a goose who appeared to be crippled and could hardly move. What she found is shocking! This was probably heralded in fish and wildlife journals as high waterfowl management!
Natalie wrote: It turns out that the goose wasn’t impaled, as we thought! DEP had attached a rather large transmitter, with a 12″ antenna to this poor goose using glue and string.  The transmitter was probably once glued to the animal’s back and tied like a harness around the body.
Trouble is the glue detached (or the bird is molting) and the whole apparatus pivoted down to rest on his thigh, causing a limp, while the antenna routinely hit the ground and/or became caught up on aquatic vegetation and bushes in the park. At first, it almost looked like an arrow!
