Geese guard prisoners

Cass · 11-29-2004, 06:08 AM

Four jails in Brazil are using geese to help prevent prisoners from escaping.

The prisons, in Sao Paulo's Paraiba Valey, say no inmates have escaped since they brought in the geese.

The geese are kept in areas just inside the prison wall and make a lot of noise whenever anyone goes near them.

Idalecio Pereira Campos, director of Tremembe Prison, told Terra Noticias Populares: "When I was a child there were wild geese that would run after me on a nearby farm.

"That is where I got the idea from, I thought that the geese would do great in the prison, and they do!"

My experience with geese is they are relentless..!! They will chase you forever, till you drop from exhaustion..!!

As kids we would try to out run them, and hide from them, they woud find us every time..!!
