The Seattle Animal Shelter is actively investigating an animal cruelty incident and is seeking the public's assistance in identifying a suspect responsible for the death of a goose. The alleged crime occurred on Monday evening, approximately August 24, 2026, around 5:30 PM, at South Lake Union in Seattle, Washington. According to a witness who spoke with KIRO 7, the suspect grabbed a goose by its neck and repeatedly swung the animal against the concrete, resulting in its death. The act was witnessed by members of the public, including Josephine Saltmarsh and Jim Hull, who expressed shock and confusion at the violence. The witness provided images of the suspect, who was seen leaving the scene immediately following the attack. The individual was described as wearing a red T-shirt featuring the slogan "no nerds, no birds." This phrase is associated with SPEEA, a union representing aerospace employees, though it remains unclear if the suspect is a union member. The Seattle Animal Shelter is currently collaborating with the nearby Museum of History and Industry (MOHAI) to obtain surveillance footage that may help identify the individual. Authorities are urging anyone with information regarding the incident to come forward. The shelter has established a specific tip line for this case. Residents or witnesses who recognize the suspect or have additional details about the event are asked to contact the Seattle Animal Shelter directly. The case reference number for this investigation is C0009675633. The shelter emphasizes the violent nature of the act and is working diligently to bring the suspect to justice. The investigation is ongoing, and the agency is relying on community cooperation to locate the man responsible for this act of animal cruelty.
