That cartoon version of the old man kills me every time.

Seagulls: 2,047,7998, Humans: 1
When's the last time of these sky rats swung someone into a wall though. I'd say that counts for at least 5 chips.
to be fair I haven't seen a seagull spin somebody around by the head and kill them
This would only be true, if that piece of shit had stolen the seagull it's chip or if the seagulls had smashed more than two million people to death.
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.
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!
Labour's weak attitude to immigration is to blame here just letting these thieves just fly into the country!
What is the average air speed velocity of a swallow?
Laden or unladen?
Humans:
- Takes all the fish for themselves
- has bussiness dump to birds perfectly edible but to humans not commercially pretty enough fish bits in the trash.
- builds apartments on the gulls original habitat
“wHy Do ThESe SEaguLl KeEP STEalinG FrOm Us”
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.
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.
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
all of North America, Mexico
Hmmm. I mean I guess I get mentioning UK separate from the EU, but idk about Ireland, isn't it part of the EU?
To be very clear, I'm not trying to contradict that it's illegal to kill seagulls in a lot of places.
Why are they protected? They're rats with wings.
they're covered by migratory bird protection legislations from what i read. and some of the seagull spiecies are pretty endangered. can't tell you more than that, i just accepted that the sky thieves dickheads cannot be touched
I feel like the default is that you aren't allowed to kill animals. Not as in most laws outlaw killing any animal, just that there are probably a lot of laws about randomly killing animals that aren't like tiny bugs and stuff. Like you can't just kill a deer unless you have a hunting permit. You can't catch fish without a fishing license. Sure, you're probably allowed to kill animals on your property that are a nuisance or anywhere in defense, but I wouldn't just assume I can kill a random animal.
I think there's a clear difference between an animal that's a known nuisance and any other. If a rat and an emu both wander into my yard, the rat's life is forfeit, but I'm not gonna fuck with the emu for multiple reasons.
I like how you said all of North America, and then also Mexico as if it wasn't part of NA.
And that UK and Ireland aren't a part of Europe?
I've heard Brits piss and moan that the UK isn't part of Europe before. Whether or not that has any merit I can't say, I'm not European.
I've never heard any Brit say UK isn't Europe. Are you confusing Europe, a continent one cannot secede from without moving tectonic plates or waiting billions of years, with EU, the European union, a political union?

And I've never actually seen a Hippopotamus, what's your point?

At what point did I mention plate tectonics or the European Union?
uhoh, my 2 from geography is showing (scale from 1-6, with 1 being fail)
Well thanks for your exhaustive legal research.
they're also protected in China and India, which together with the other ones accounts for like 70% of the world. are they protected everywhere? probably not, there are definitely some countries that have little to no wildlife protection legislations, but i'm not exactly a seagull murder law expert, nor do i want to become one, so i'll stop at that

Protected status in the UK. "[T]hey are protected by law. This means it is illegal to kill, injure, or capture a gull."
HTH.
I love these guys. Just look at them
- shoplift & demolish a bag of chips
- shoplift a sandwich
- hover over a sightseer to snatch a bite of ice cream
- wait from a regular spot to swipe from a pedestrian.
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.
It's been considered by many but unfortunately they are full of tiny bones, lack much meat, and don't taste great owing to their ongoing diet of garbage, fast food, and their own shit
Small flighted bird - Low meat ratio
Human food scavenger - Dirty malnourished
Of course, if you give McDonalds any hints, they might throw em in a grider whole and start a new line of nuggets.
That's why I prefer bagels.
That just sounds like they're being smart to me. They do it to get food, not to be malicious. Unlike humans.
Grew up by the sea too. Humans destroyed the vast majority seagulls' habitat, overfished a ton, so if now they steal from us, it's only fair. They are wild animals and need food. People should learn to protect their food instead of being a horrible piece of shit.
Hilarious..You gotta admit that's some savage survival skills....hatred yes but maybe some respect.
They may be aggressive flying pests but this guy is a fucking psycho.
That's crazy behavior honestly. Don't let that guy have access to kids, they wouldn't make it long.
Don't steal his chip
Simple as
If you hurt animals, you suck.
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.
ahaha animal cruelty funny
Fuck seagulls! Delete them
The next person who disagrees with you should do the same thing. Fucking psychos
I dont think you should call others psycho after fantasizing about their death.
Oh no not the flying rats
To each their own. But I have had rat friends who were more trustworthy than many humans.
That's very cool. Were they thieves?
Seriously rats can be really great. The worst part is their shorter lifespan.
Yup. We have had two sets of ratties live with us. After the second set died a few days apart I swore off any more. When their needs are met they are loving, and care for each other, and us, without reward.
If you schedule allows and you aren't entirely rational, chinchillas are stupid, nocturnal, fluffy rats. The advantage is they live longer if treated well. The disadvantage is that nocturnal bit as their warning scream is loud. A girl I dated had a pair for 15 years before they passed.
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
