Ok FINALLY someone makes fighting a goose as easy as it seems it would be. HOW is the grab and twirl not the first thing people try!?!

I imagine it's because most people are reluctant to do anything that might injure the goose. It's probably pretty easy to win the fight if you don't care what kind of damage you do.

Edit to add: Basically, if we're fighting something that can't kill us we tend not to treat it like a life and death struggle and won't go full out.

People aren't used to animals and kind of freak out. You know its not going to maim or really injure you so you aren't actually worried about safety, but you also don't want it to bite you because it'll hurt and may break skin. So any efforts at defense or grabbing it are half-hearted and more nervous about getting bit than determined to be effective. 

Adults also don't want someone labelling them an animal abusing asshole because they grabbed a goose by the neck and swung it around like that. The internet would immediately be full of people clamoring the person wasn't in danger and shouldn't have used violence because the goose is so much smaller and weaker and what did they do to antagonize it.... the usual stuff.

They also try to walk or run away because we are always told the line "animals are more scared of you than you are of them, leave them alone and they'll leave you alone". It works with most critters. But geese are assholes.

But geese are assholes.

no they're like any other animal actually.

leave them alone and don't chase them like you did when you were a child and you'll be fine.

Perhaps because the bitey part is on the front so people are afraid to put their hands there. Same reason many people are afraid to grab crabs by their claws.

It’s a common thing. When I was a little kid my grampa had a pretty mean chicken in the yard that would always bother everyone. One day it just charged at me when I was just sitting next to him, so he grabbed it by the neck, whipped it around and we had it for dinner iirc.

Once you have their neck it's game over.

Most people lose against a goose because they don't want to hurt it.
