Seagulls and most other gull birds are not protected under federal law, however disrupting/modifying wildlife of any kind (including seagulls) without a permit is illegal. However on a state level some do protect many gulls including seagulls while also controlling their population to reduce nuisance.

Then you have places like Florida, where seagulls are not even protected under the local animal cruelty act. You could torture them for being the scavenger animals they are and not get into any trouble at all. It’s really sickening.

What? Why? There are literal flock of seagulls. We ain't gonna run out of em.

In Denmark they're everywhere in the cities too, only thing more frequent then these shitbirds is rats.

Well there goes my dreams of building the ultimate gull crushing machine :(

yes but you can only hunt them ironically.

Found the Jainist

Why are you trying to lecture that animal about animals? Did he shit all over you?

You forget, we are animals. And deep inside we still have those primal moments. Where don't fuck with my chip or I'll fuck you into the afterlife.

Seagulls are essentially rats in sailor suits, except a LOT more aggressive.
