"After shopping, I passed through that thoroughfare again to see if the goose was still meandering around. It was. I parked the car and took a closer look"

"On an island, surrounded by a flimsy, orange tape fence, was another goose comfortably seated on a nest of hay"
"It hissed at me. Then I realized it was a female laying or incubating her eggs, and the other was her mate watching over her. I returned to the first goose who hissed, spread its wings and moved aggressively toward me, clearly protecting its future brood"

I considered calling Animal Control to remove them for their safety. A few days later, I returned to Walmart and was astonished by what I saw.
"The kind-hearted employees placed traffic cones, on either side, of the thoroughfare to allow the guardian to protect his family in safety, diverting traffic through the parking spaces. The "people of Walmart" at 4620 E Black Horse Pike, Mays Landing, NJ have my sincerest thanks"
