Goose Finds Cop and Leads Him to Her Trapped Baby
- thevibesman 10y agoThere are a large number of geese that hang out and nest in The Fens[1] in Boston. Normally they nest in the reeds close to the water, more or less out of the way of human foot traffic. A couple of years ago, I saw a pair of geese who made their nest in a small island of grass between two side-walks and a street near Northeastern University. While much more public, this nest had the advantage of humans leaving bowls of clean water (and maybe food) for the geese nesting there.

- vinchuco 10y agoMy house cat was often bullied by this other cat that visited just to fight him, once even damaging one of his eyes. One night, long ago, I decided to join my friend's side and swing a broomstick against the other cat as they fought clenched together. The other cat ran away for obvious reasons. My cat pursued him, stopped, turned to me with a "let's get him" nod, and after a pause he ran. Where do we draw the line between antropomorphising actions and ascribing intelligence? I hope we not only enhance humans in the future, but animals as well. The stuff of a sci-fi novel: cat cyborgs protesting for their voting rights, holding signs with opposable thumb augmentations.
