Help on way to find ailing goose tied up with string in the Humber Bay Shores area

Help is on the way to help this ailing goose with its webbed feet all tangled up with string.

Social media users in the Humber Bay Shores area have been reporting updates of a tied-up goose as it hobbles around the community.

A number of concerned residents have called the Toronto Wildlife Centre (TWC) seeking help for the endangered bird.

Animal activist Darlene Silva wrote that she has spoken to the Centre to notify them of the limping goose.

“The know about this goose but it is very mobile and is not always in this area,” Silva said to concerned residents. “When in water, you can’t tell, so it’s very hard to find.”

She said residents are helping the TWC report sightings of the goose.

If anyone sees the tangled goose they are asked to call the TWC at 416-631-0662. They can also message Silva after calling. You can also post the location online.

We all hope the hop-a-long goose can soon be found, before local wild life appears in what could possibly be dinner for them, as suggested by some online.
The TWC expect to have a rescue team in the area to find the goose on February 29.
