Duck, duck, goose!: Brazil prison uses “geese agents” to keep inmates in check

Waddling around the perimeter of a prison in Brazil's southern state of Santa Catarina, geese have edged out their canine predecessors on patrols to make sure inmates do not escape.
Between breaks in their on-site pond, the honking birds, dubbed "geese agents," patrol a green space between the prison's inside fence and main outer wall. Staff say the vigilance of the geese makes them excellent guard animals, even more so than dogs.
Piu-Piu heads the small flock, leading fellow geese in their oversight of the premises. When officers call his name, he emits a distinctive honk.
Prison director Marcos Roberto de Souza. said tending the flock of geese is more affordable than raising dogs and that the quiet location of the prison makes it a viable option for his facility.

imagine getting told on by a goose

[@davoid96]

They are little snitches. 🪿

[@ke2395]

​@@davoid96How are they a snitch when they are an "agent" of the state 😅 it's their job.

[@bannerwarren8059]

Perfect guard animals because they cost basically nothing to keep, loud as hell if someone is in their territory, they bite and claw at people when they are in their territory too, so I see this as a W

[@SysysEyew]

I'm getting bunch of them to protect my farm. But I'm afraid they will eat the small trees and stuff. Do you have any experience whatsoever?

[@bannerwarren8059]

@@SysysEyew uh my grandma has a shitload of them, and im pretty sure they are pretty good with plants cuz she has a bunch of gardening stuff.

[@SysysEyew]

@@bannerwarren8059 hmm. I'll buy em then

Watch out for hawks and eagles. They will try to swoop them if in a general open area

"Geese agents"? Didn't know OWCA stepped out of the shadows. Where's the hats, though?

Swans in UK were used for protection in early times the Queen still owns every swan in England they were that revered. The wings could break your arm.

[@istolejahresshipandilldoit3499]

Fun fact: a swan drowned a man

[@Chrisosch]

​@@istolejahresshipandilldoit3499 bet he had heaps of fun with that fact

[@DanielSilvaProf]

@@Chrisosch The swan? Likely.

[@augossystem]

Also they can fly, unlike dogs. 😛

Вот это гуси! Молодцы! В детстве я с удовольствием их их водил гулять, квартируя у бабушки летом... Никогда и не подозревал, что они могут быть охранниками...

[@108kraft]

В истории имеется очень известный случай когда гуси сработали как сигнализация во время нападения на Рим, охрана проспала, но мимо гусей просто так не пройти

[@pingu11.]

I think the gooses are so tired of humans now haha

[@Mr.NewGrey]

То есть тот факт, что гуси, в своё время, Рим спасли, до них доходил больше 2000 лет. Уникальные тормозилы!

Geese are fearless guardians, they are also being used for border security in China and by police officers to nab criminals instead of dogs, this is because they have more sensitive hearing, they have excellent night vision that’s better than ours and won’t fall for poisonous buns like dogs. Geese have really been put to good use for being guard animals ever since ancient rome.

[@99cachorro]

Very cool!

[@raijinenel3116]

Geese will shout at random times and be quiet or hiss when you walk past them, useless, but a cute thing. I approve.

[@augossystem]

Please give them uniforms! Pleeeeeeease!

Great, give the ducks a chance

Reasons for Uyghur detention in one of 380 Xinjiang camps in China 🇨🇳 include: - having a beard, - wearing a veil, - applying for a passport, - possessing a Quran, - praying, - downloading WhatsApp and - having too many children.

[@bluecollarmenproductions]

Geese are horrifying

[@999shawn]

seems like a waste but idk I guess if it works

[@jordanbell4736]

Geese cost almost nothing to keep.
