The attack last week shattered the animal's leg, CBS news reported. The goose was euthanized the next day.

Canada Geese have been a problem in Westchester for years. Many municipalities have looked for ways to control the goose populations.

In April, U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand called for federal action to lessen the number of aviation incidents caused by birds flying into airplane engines. The senator seeks legislation that would aim to remove Canada Geese that pose a public safety risk at major New York airports by cutting the “red tape” between the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the National Park Service (NPS).
