Rescue of a goose with legs stuck in fishing line

Our ADT teams went in Antoing for a rescue mission. We were called to free a goose whose legs were trapped in fishing line.

Upon our arrival at the scene, we quickly realized the urgency of the situation. The poor goose had its legs so tightly ensnared by the line that it had deeply penetrated its flesh, causing significant injuries.

With speed and precision, our teams captured the bird to begin the rescue operation. Each piece of line was meticulously removed, a task that required not only patience but also great delicacy to avoid exacerbating the animal's injuries. After freeing the goose from its painful bindings, we immediately took it to a wildlife rehabilitation center where it could receive the necessary treatment for its wounds.

This rescue highlights once again the dangers that human waste poses to local wildlife. Abandoned fishing lines can cause serious damages to animals, as demonstrated by this unfortunate incident. We urge fishermen and walkers to exercise vigilance and responsibility in properly disposing of their waste.
