Who am I to judge though? Maybe these are robotic android geese the city has employed for this very occasion, a way to use up the budget surplus now that all the streets and sewer lines have been repaired. Perhaps some bizarre ritual / rite of passage where if your toddler survives her preordained harassment of wild animals, she has passed the test and is allowed meals from then on. You would think these city geese are used to being harassed. Familiar with the drill, and loathe to attack children knowing they could lose their Wonder Bread rights. Just so many variables. From now on, I'll think twice before I step in and try to prevent parents from killing their own offspring.
