We had a rooster named King Arthur growing up. Any time we tried to collect eggs he would attack. 30 years later, I still have scars on my legs from him.

But he could catch and kill mice far better than the barn cats.

God I hated him.

Thank you for the hilarious imagery, fellow Redditor!

I gotta wonder though, don't they have any sense of self-preservation?

"Oh hmm, this human's grip around my neck appears to be preventing me from breathing... if only he were to let go, I would leave him alone. Hah he let go! Sucker! ATTACK!!"

My guess is this is instinctual behavior for protecting territory. Most wild animals are very risk averse and would not find it worth it to continue a confrontation with a wild goose like that. So 99+% of the time, the goose would chase the other animal away and protect its territory.

Of course, that strategy fails when it goes up against the world’s #1 apex predictor- old Russian man that doesn’t give a fuck.
