Do geese really surpass dogs in guarding homes?

There is an opinion that guard geese are used to protect important facilities...

 

It is indeed true. In Brazil, at the prison in the city of Florianópolis, an interesting experiment was conducted. To ensure the safety of the inmates, they use geese instead of dogs. These birds “watch” to prevent escapes.

Geese move freely in specially designated pens located near the prison wall. At night, at the slightest noise, they begin to honk loudly. According to the prison administration, since geese replaced dogs, there have been no recorded escape attempts by inmates.

BY THE WAY

In South Africa, there is an increasing use of snakes to protect homes and businesses from criminals. The fear of these reptiles is one of the most widespread in the world, making this method of security quite effective. In some homes, they do not even keep snakes but simply hang signs saying “Beware of snakes!”, which also has a frightening effect.
