The Boulder Police Department is seeking the public’s help to track down a person who shot a goose in the head with an arrow nearly two weeks ago. 

The department’s animal protection officers received a call on March 5 from a resident who said there was a goose running around with an arrow in its head.

It saddens us the things some humans do to each other & to animals. So when we’re able to help, we love to do so. BPD Animal Protection safely rescued this goose yesterday, removed part of the arrow & helped transport him. Pls call 303-441-3333 if you know who did this #Boulder pic.twitter.com/6mriDvrbLC

However, the injured goose was finally outmatched by the protection officers on Tuesday when they were able to capture the animal by using a net trap.

Officers then proceeded to remove the large arrow from its head.
