David Gregory Davis of Marysville might have never imagined that the goose that became the target of his gun in April will drag him to court. The 48-year-old, who faces an arraignment on June 26 in Yuba County Superior Court, has been charged with three misdemeanor charges in the fatal shooting of a pet goose named Wee Wee.

According to the bird's owners, Todd Hulsey and Sharri Neel, Wee Wee was a friendly bird that would follow them along a riverbank on a fishing trip and wait for them at the gate when they returned home from work.

"It is very important to us that the person responsible for Wee Wee's death be prosecuted," Neel wrote to the Appeal-Democrat.

Davis has been charged with three count of misdemeanor including shooting a Canada goose out of season and hunting without a license.
