Brazilian ’geese agents’ honk in case of prison break | ABS-CBN News

Waddling around the perimeter of a prison in Brazil’s southern state of Santa Catarina, geese have edged out their canine predecessors on patrols to make sure inmates do not escape. Between breaks in their on-site pond, the honking birds, dubbed “geese agents,“ patrol a green space between the prison’s inside fence and main outer wall. Staff say the vigilance of the geese make them excellent guard animals, even more so than dogs. Piu-Piu heads the small flock, leading fellow geese in their oversight of the premises. When officers call his name, he emits a distinctive honk. Prison director Marcos Roberto de Souza said tending the flock of geese is more affordable than raising dogs and that the quiet location of the prison makes it a viable option for his facility. —Report from Reuters For more ABS-CBN News videos, click the link below: For more latest news and analysis from ABS-CBN News videos, click the link below: For more News Digital News Raw Cuts, click the link below: Subscribe to the ABS-CBN News channel! - Watch the full episodes of TV Patrol on iWantTFC: Visit our website at Facebook: Twitter: #Exclusive #LatestNews #ABSCBNNews
