“They then proceeded to drive into the flock of geese and killing at least two,” read a statement on Monday.

They said the other jet ski was reported as yellow and white with a slender-built male operating it, also with a child on board.

According to the conservation officers, it’s unlawful under the wildlife regulations to use a vehicle or powerboat to chase, disturb, injure or kill wildlife.
