Has a flock of wild geese landed on your property and you want to claim them?:p

In Artane, Dublin 5 flocks of geese used to regularly stop off for breaks on their long flights in the local park. Quite amazing on how every flock used the exact same park

Don't know the answer but maybe something here

What? A gander...as in a male goose?

Thirdfox

Has this anything to do with guard geese? And the fact that it may be classified as a non-domesticated animal i.e. wild animal, which falls under a different law in Torts...

For me a gander is domesticated...but I suppose it varies from judge to judge...

It depends on the purpose for which it needs to be classified and even from one animal to another. You can have a stray cat or a domestic cat, etc.

Perhaps try the agriculture and farming forum (if there is such).

Q a person is attacked and injured by a gander, while going about their volantery duties. torts law is difficult to adjudicate on.

A good place to start might be the Law Reform commissions report on Civil liability for animals here

I got the impression that historically it has been on a species-wide basis. Cows are domesticated, wolves are by definition wild.

Geese are wild.

Between a goose attack and talk of a Farming forum, I've lolled at this thread.:D
