The geese were trying to protect themselves and their young from this heartless predator who swoops down from the sky and snatches innocent animals and tears them apart alive.

Well, for once the tables were turned. Good for the geese.

Sorry, but I hate raptors. Go ahead with the flaming- but that's just the way I feel.

Thanks for that injection of reality.

Notice the bizarre use of euphemism:

“It looked like (the eagle) was scavenging a goose nest (near the restaurant)”

“scavenging a goose nest”?

Eagles do not use the same materials that geese do for their nests.

I would be remiss if I did not note that geese are just as “heartless” and just as willing to kill “innocent” animals as eagles are.

Turn loose a young mouse among a flock of geese, and see how long it lasts.

Nature is indeed cruel and heartless, “red in tooth and claw”. Life and death are intertwined, and there is very little sentiment in nature.

Yeah, I occasionally find a patch of rabbit fur in my yard and know the hawks have been there. Still, that's the predator's role in the world - I can't hate them for being the killing machines that God created. I just wish they'd kill the damned squirrels that chew on my house and leave the rabbits alone.

Speaking of squirrels, I find it far more disturbing when one of them devours a baby bird than when a raptor does. Those furry, fluffy tails are pure deception - there's nothing cute about squirrels. They are vermin with good PR.
