ATTLEBORO, Mass. - A man who allegedly stomped a Canada goose and its five goslings to death in Massachusetts this weekend is in court today on animal cruelty charges.
John Sanders says he's "heartbroken" over the incident. He tells The Boston Globe he felt threatened because the geese were acting aggressively and moving toward him, hissing and beating their wings.
Police say Sanders, an industrial engineer from Rhode Island, slipped and fell in mud after an adult goose hissed at him.
According to the police report, Sanders got up angry and went into a rampage, chasing and kicking the geese.
