I also grew up at the coast and yes they are a menace. But as the saying goes fuck around, find out.
Imagine if we restored and maintained the habitat and did a daily collection of fish waste to dump near that habitat.
They're also a "menace" because many people actively feed them. It's the same as ducks following people around expecting bread.
Exc-fucking-actly. I'm horrified by how many people here think that animal cruelty is okay when you don't like the said animal.
That's crazy behavior honestly. Don't let that guy have access to kids, they wouldn't make it long.
They'll survive as long as they don't steal his chips.
Those kids better stick to their own damn chips
I grew up by the sea and seagulls can fuck right off. Ones where I was learned to shit on you and your food from above so you would put it in the bin, then they'd raid the bin and eat the shit covered food.
A near-lifetime around these fuckers gives me some sympathy for this guy. Not a lot, but some.
I grew up with seagulls (well, lake gulls) and they weren't a bother. Then I visited the actual seaside... I wondered why there weren't more chip stands serving seagull meat.
That just sounds like they're being smart to me. They do it to get food, not to be malicious. Unlike humans.
Doesn't make them any more convenient to live with than hungry mosquitoes or botfly larvae
Once saw a seagull casually walk up to a pigeon like it was going to walk past it and just snap it's fucking neck.
Those motherfuckers can be huge, too. The building where I work has a kestrel nest on the roof. Last week, there was drama when some seagulls showed up and were apparently trying to kidnap and eat the kestrels' young ones.
I straight up witnessed a city seagull kill and eat an adult pigeon whole. It was pretty quick and wild to see.
They may be aggressive flying pests but this guy is a fucking psycho.
That cartoon version of the old man kills me every time.
Stop stealing his chips
NEVER!
If you hurt animals, you suck.
Factory farms and the entire livestock/dairy/meat industry does indeed suck.
Edit: exactly seven of you are pro-factory-farm and I think you probably need Jesus. To come back and slap each of you.
Labour's weak attitude to immigration is to blame here just letting these thieves just fly into the country!
as someone who's had their food stolen by a seagull a few times i once found myself in a fit of petty rage googling "can i kill a seagull" and the answer is no, like legally you cannot, they're protected birds
I would suppose that depends on the jurisdiction.
it does not. Seagulls are protected in: UK, Ireland, all of Europe, all of North America, Mexico, Australia, Japan, Russia, and probably more but i can't be bothered to go past the first few Google searches to find out
Not only is he cruel, he is actually participating in making more powerful Seagulls, the surviving seagulls will be the ones that can steal chips and survive being thrown at a wall. Beware the terminator seagull soon attacking your chips, the walls will not survive!
Bahaha I fully support his actions. Fucking prick seagull fucked around and found out.
There's a good chance another seagull ate the body before it was even cold.
You mean the sky rats???? Fuck em. Get em Brit bong
What he did was wrong, a bit because of the animal and a lot because of the spectators. It did not suffer, it was quick. It does however feel a bit like cognitive dissonance to strongly disapprove of his actions, while we systematically without any good reason eat animals and have them in small confined areas for optimal meat production per sqm. Vegans and vegetarians however, they can judge him all they want 😉 I am not one of them
It shows anger issues and a proloclivity towards disproportionate retribution. Most people wouldn't kill an animal for a simple chip/fry heist.
As an aussie who has had many foods taken by birds including a fucking eagle that stole my burger out of my hands, this is some sociopath shit
