WINNIPEG – A 17-year-old boy is facing animal cruelty charges after allegedly running over Canada geese at three different parking lots in Winnipeg.

Police say it started Saturday night when a sleeping goose was driven over and injured in a parking lot.

Shortly afterward, two sleeping geese were driven over and killed in a separate lot.

Winnipeg police say another two geese were chased from their nest in another parking lot, then driven over and killed. 

Investigators identified a white SUV involved and linked it to the teen.

They say he was arrested and charged Monday, and conservation officers were also informed as protected species were killed. 

This report by The Canadian Press was first published April 28, 2026.
