Elusive Long Island goose dies after arrow injury
In Roslyn New York aCanada goose known as Long Island's toughest finally dies after a two foot arrow wound. A Greenlawn veterinarian Dr Basil Tangredi said infection and irreparable damage forced humane euthanasia despite rescue efforts by a young couple who lured the bird with popcorn to catch it for treatment. The bird had previously avoided traps and defied attempts to aid it over several weeks. The veterinarian noted the wing injury barred flight and the animal would not have recovered.
