A prison in Brazil has reinforced its security system by swapping its guard dogs for an even bigger and intimidating menace: geese.
Since December 20, a gaggle of geese have been waddling around the perimeter of Sao Pedro de Alcantara prison, in Brazil’s southern state of Santa Catarina, replacing 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,” have been meticulously patrolling a green space between the prison’s inside fence and main outer wall.
