Didn’t Milton Berle tell the goose to stay in the car?
Oh, nm, that’s a different thread.

A friend of mine in Philly woke up one morning at 4 and drove to Tinicum Wildlife Refuge to get a picture of the sunrise. He hiked with his tripod, cameras, and lenses, wearing a headlight and trying to be very quiet.
He crested a hill as he approached the water. Unbeknownst to him, hundreds of Canada Geese had bedded down on the hillside. The hill was covered in a blanket of goose shit. He slipped, fell, then slid down the slope, scaring hundreds of geese into cacophonous flight. He hiked back to his car, covered head to toe in goose shit, just as the birders were heading out to do what birders do.
The goose kind of has the same rights as a small child. If a small child were to get into your car would you take it home? No, you would remove the child and make sure it got back to it’s family. If you were to mistakenly take a small child home that got into your car would you feed it snacks so it would hang around? No, you would return the stowaway child. Same with the goose.
So to answer the OP, yes the asian tenant broke the law. Probably fattening it up like Hansel and Greta.

All this Canada goose poop talk calls for this scene from Letterkenny (warning: strong language.)
What did poor Annie do to you that made you not like her as much as a pooping goose.
Geese don’t have rights.
Which is only slightly less rights than human children have.
I was an EMT with a volunteer ambulance service on the California desert that New Year’s Eve when the call came for an emergency run. My partner Ally and I rolled the ambulance from the car barn and rushed through the nearest lit intersection… where a Canada goose huddled. Its head turned to watch as we drove past. If it hadn’t been a Code 3 call, we’d have stopped and captured the bird. Would that have been a crime in 1978?
Goosey was gone when we returned. Ally was disappointed - we’d talked of roasting. For a humane execution, we planned an overdose of sedatives. But no such luck. Maybe it climbed into another vehicle and shit all over.
I’ve since lived near goose-infested parks. Vile, despicable places, they are. Hazardous waste sites. But does the EPA care? Ha.
Thank goodness or half of Minnesota would be in jail.
Shouldn’t it be a Duck, Duck, Goose stamp?
Oh, shit!
In Minnesota, it would be a Duck, Duck, Grey Duck stamp. But I guess you could still use it to hunt geese.
You most certainly can hunt them. But you have to have a license and a special stamp.
In the Ops case, no one would make a arrest as the goose was released and not coerced.

Properly coerced, roast goose is not greasy.
They have the right to non-interference from humans. Transporting one with or without consent is interference because as an animal AND a protected species they cannot consent.
I would not drive away with it because its a violation of a Federal law. If a Game and Wildlife officer found you driving around with one in your vehicle I don’t believe that an arguement that he willingly got in your car would hold up.
You mean you couldn’t use a defense of “The goose was asking for it?” It used to work in rape cases.
And so we do.
