Our trip through Amish Country took us to Songbird Ridge where we planned to liberate one wooden goose from captivity.
Yes, in this photo the geese appear to be well cared for and relatively happy. But, the red chain, carelessly left out by the bed and breakfast owners, is a clue into the tragic existence these geese endure. We're told they are never allowed to leave the porch of this barn. Never allowed to swim, and their wings must be clipped because they don't fly away.
We did take photographs of the horses and goats on the property to document the obvious favoritism that is played upon them by the owners. They are free to graze in their large, shaded pastures... smelling the wonderful fragrance of the cottage gardens throughout the property.
Freedom at last! We feel bad that we were only able to liberate one of the geese. But, we can see that he really enjoys his new home on the St. Joseph River in Bristol, Indiana.
