Goose Rescue in New Bedford

A goose in New Bedford was trapped by a suffocating plastic band around its head and beak, sparking a grassroots rescue effort. With no official wildlife responders available, locals banded together—forming a group chat, braving rain and sewage, and even using kayaks and nets. Lynn Coish, 64, led the charge, eventually helping remove the band after a dramatic capture near a grocery store. The goose flew free, and Coish is still watching for it—proof that even a goose in peril can rally a whole community. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
