Geese saved Rome!

(Of course, having the city infested with geese instead of Gauls might not have been a particularly preferable outcome for its citizens, but at least they were already used to the geese, inasmuch as one can get used to geese.)

They're also citizens, native-born.

Imagine how elections would go if animals coukd vote.

Perhaps we should have designated human voters to represent animals.

In the Netherlands, we have a political party to represent them. It’s called the Partij voor de Dieren (Party for the animals) and they’re a green left wing party.

Opossums are my favorite animal. They're so cute!

Nebraska has possums? Thought those were only in Australia

Hey now, Oz managed to introduce possums into NZ too.

But if you're genuinely wondering, what we call opossums are called possums in the US

I'm from Nebraska and volunteered for them a few times and I feel like they've probably got a rough position being as Nebraskans seem to hate wildlife in every context but hunting and fishing.

Edit: also the geese seem pretty passive there, never personally had nor witnessed a negative interaction with them.
