A Canada goose has miraculously survived an illegal crossbow attack that left it with a bolt sunk deep inside its chest. A woman found the injured bird floating on Lake Cowichan Thursday and rushed it to a Nanaimo veterinarian�s office for emergency surge
Lots of yahoos out there. I can't see it being legal to hunt with bow and arrow, just seems like too small a target to hit.
That said, they should have just euthanized this bird instead of saving it. And a bunch of its brothers and sisters too, where they are pests. All this fussing about animals that aren't endangered I just can't understand.
Not 100% certain, as provinces vary, but most jurisdictions outlaw the use of crossbows for hunting migratory birds. Longbow and compound bows are acceptable. Some provinces may have exceptions, but it's most likely crossbows are illegal

This was in rhe wild, not some city street, so it's the humans who are the peats, not the animals. And treating injured animals should be the natural and default response, not something that has to be justified.

No, I disagree. IF the animal is not an endangered species, just euthanize it instead of spending all that time and money rehabbing an animal who may die from predation the day after it is released. As you say, it's the wild, it's not someone's pet.

Well if it's a human that caused the injury, a human should fix it.
Fix if by euthanizing the animal. Makes no sense we allow people to hunt animals but then get in a fuss when one is injured by humans. Life is tough for animals in the wild. Any particular individual doesn't count in the same way a human does. End its suffering, but leave it at that.

I'll bet none of them are fish, they live in schools.

Geese are not members of our society. Maybe spend more effort on taking care of humans.
If someone is willing to let a poor animal suffer then they won't give two fucks about a person.
