Agreed. He’s the only one in this story that has a nick of common sense… Rare to see a judge using common sense in this day and age…
It would be a huge stretch and waterfowl doesn't fall under this anyways.
I have shot 1000s of geese in my life, never seen one full of worms.

“wildlife” means an animal that belongs to a species that is wild by nature, and includes game wildlife and specially protected wildlife; (“animal sauvage”)
https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/97f41#BK1
Migratory birds cannot be killed under FWCA "protection of property" regulation without a federal permit.
Similar how, up until last year, in ON, it was not an offence to allow migratory birds to spoil or be wasted. Luckily the ON FWCA was updated to include migratory birds.
Also, deer, moose and elk cannot be killed under the "protection of property" regulation without a permit from the OMNR.

When I lived in Ontario I was named on 4 landowners permits to kill nuisance geese and cranes. That permit was issued by an agricultural agency of the government. I can't recall which now? It's been too many years.

The original story is out of Lethbridge, so not governed by the Ontario Wildlife Act you're quoting. Each province has its own Wildlife Act, except migratory birds, which fall under the jurisdiction of Environment Canada,but still enforced by provincial CO's. As waterfowler mentioned, some animals can't be killed in defense of property. Here in Manitoba, cougar is actually on that list, along with most wild ungulates.
It's a bit of a strange legislation. People shoot skunks and red squirrels in their yard all the time, yet technically they're furbearers with seasons.

Hi,
Thank you... I stand corrected!
If a cougar was about to harm my pet dog or domestic cat, one would think I could protect my own property with the force required!

Everything is fair game when it comes to protecting pets or family members, whether legal or not. Just don't take a video/pics or talk about it.
The cougar reference is more in regard to protection of livestock.

in Sk, there has been a few shot over the years in the SW as they are starting to get too aggressive. One was stalking a young boy walking up the drive from school bus.
Skunks I try to leave alone, but damn dogs don't listen.

Another Tim tok disaster. Should give your kids a “safe handling” course for their phones before you let them own one. Make it up off the
Prove and acts principle.
Perhaps, an annual school course for students on the do's and do not's on the Internet would be good! My generation did not have these issues, but these youngsters need some help with the new digital universe.
You’re missing the point.
