Canadian woman Cait Oakley (probably related to Annie Oakley), was sitting at home on a recent evening breastfeeding her four-month-old child when she heard a commotion outside.
She hopped off the couch to find that a bald eagle had swooped onto her porch and tried to scoop up her family's pet goose for dinner.
Oakley wasted no time, bidding that foul raptor to back to Mordor from whence it came.
And yes, of course, there's footage (yes, it has been censored):
A mom's gotta do what a mom's gotta do.
From People:
On May 16, Cait Oakley realized something was wrong as she was breastfeeding her infant daughter when she heard her goose Frankie screaming.
"She just sounded different, so I went to the front door in the middle of feeding our babe," Oakley told CTV News.
"As soon as I opened the door, the eagle just swooped down right then," she added of the bird's attack on Frankie. "That was the only thing in my head, just like, 'Drop it!'"
Personally, I don't know of anyone else who has a pet goose. And I don't know if I'd be attached enough to any goose to get between a bald eagle and its dinner.
But Cait is a Canadian and they're weird about those vermin they call geese in the frozen north.
After seeing the eagle dive toward her pet, Oakley — who was partially dressed and holding her baby — yelled and ran after the bird to rescue her goose.
"It's just that fight-or-flight response," she told CBC News and added, "This is mom life."
"Mike just ran outside, and the first thing he said to me was, 'You're topless,' and I'm like, 'I'm very aware of the situation,'" Oakley told CTV News.
I guess there's a time and a place for propriety.
The family's home security camera captured the incident, so Lazic posted the video on TikTok with his wife's permission, and the clip now has over 20 million views.
"If something was to go viral, I'd prefer to be clothed and not in some boxer briefs but hey, you know what, that's momhood," she told CTV News. "Got to save my goose from the eagle."
Men, find yourself a lady like this. She's the real deal.
Oakley told CBC News that Frankie is "like my fourth child."
"She follows me around the yard ... she'll nip at our clothes for a treat. She's just such a large presence," she added.
If you're wondering, the goose is totally okay.
Oakley also shared that the pet goose is doing well following the attack.
"She's totally fine — super sassy, as always," she told the outlet.
Frankie is now back to wandering the yard, but the couple now has pens for all their animals.
"We've lost a lot of animals due to hawks and minks and otters and raccoons, so now we have everything secure," Lazic told CTV News.
DON'T MESS WITH THIS LADY, WILD ANIMALS. SHE WILL END YOU.
