Fun, private, and ethical. We're changing the way social media is done around here, all without your personal data taking an unexpected trip down south.
Seriously, they’re just animals doing their thing in a world they weren’t really made for, like us. Here we are, a bunch of predators, coming at their offspring all aggressively, and we’re surprised they tell us to get the fuck out of their house? Where I work we have piles of Canada geese raising families and I don’t have a problem with them, even if I walk within 10 feet of them. Just behave like a lion that isn’t hunting. Don’t look in their direction, keep a steady pace, don’t bare your teeth. They get a little skittish, but they don’t hiss, raise their wings, or attack. I’ve walked through a flock of geese with fledglings like this multiple times with no panic or aggression on their part.
Wasps can be assholes. They don’t die if they fight back like bees do. But there are two things to keep in mind. First, when you kills wasps, they release a chemical that says to all the wasps in the area, “Hey, we have a big problem over here!” Second, they are usually around you because you have food. If you gently, slowly wave them away, kind of like a branch swaying in the wind, they don’t generally feel attacked and are less likely to become aggressive. Also, if you put some food out nearby and don’t bother them when they go there, they will be less inclined to bother the food on your plate.
So treat them like hungry, grumpy idiots. Don’t go out of your way to piss them off, and give them a snack so they can settle down. And if they’re an asshole, you might still get stung.
Where I live (Saskatoon) and you are walking down by the river and you see geese make sure you do not look at them, most of the time if you even look at them they will go off.
They’re our assholes.

I’m going to venture, same story with wasps.
We kill and fuck with animals constantly, and then we’re all offended when they kinda-sorta fight back.
