PARAMUS, NJ — Police are looking for the driver of a car they said deliberately ran over baby geese Wednesday.
There are many families of geese that police officers have been watching grow up. At 3:20 p.m., as one goose family was crossing West Century Road, a silver vehicle stopped, waited for the family to be in front of the car and then deliberately ran over the goslings, police said.
"Needless to say our entire office was in shock and we are really sad that someone can be so cruel," police said.
