Discarded fishing line can cause problems for water fowl.Just recently, Wildlife Images treated geese that had gotten tangled up in fishing line.One goose had the line tangled around its leg. The fishing line killed the leg and the goose had to be put down.A second goose had fishing line tangled around its tongue, but rehabbers were able to save it.
