This scene is typical of goosedom. The adult goose wasn’t attacking the gosling, merely disciplining it. It’s just parenting.

Geese can’t spank, because nature left out the ability to have hands. The above example shows the goose biting the lose skin above the neck, not the spine itself. Cats carry kittens the same way. End of story.
