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.

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.

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!

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

[-] [email protected] 12 points 3 days ago

I reckon. Birds are fuckin psycho.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

seriously. who steals a french fry?

[-] [email protected] 56 points 4 days ago

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.

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.

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.

If you hurt animals, you suck.

[-] [email protected] 23 points 4 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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.

[-] [email protected] 73 points 4 days ago

That's crazy behavior honestly. Don't let that guy have access to kids, they wouldn't make it long.

[-] [email protected] 126 points 4 days ago

They'll survive as long as they don't steal his chips.

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.

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

[-] [email protected] 21 points 4 days ago

I would suppose that depends on the jurisdiction.

[-] [email protected] 23 points 4 days ago

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

Meanwhile perhaps 100s of millions of hens live in small cages in probable misery because we want cheaper eggs.

[-] [email protected] 32 points 4 days ago

Bahaha I fully support his actions. Fucking prick seagull fucked around and found out.

[-] [email protected] 53 points 4 days ago

There's a good chance another seagull ate the body before it was even cold.

Why is everyone jumping to the psychopath narrative? Is there background on this guy? Why bring up crying children? This feels like a Phy Op to me and some people replying in this post are glowing a bit....

Edit: Finally after everyone spent all day being mad at me for asking for information, one of you got me some. Thanks alekwithak!

[-] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago

Yeah, because killing a huge fucking seagull in front of kids is a totally normal thing to do.

The moral highground is an addictive drug. People are desperate for it.

Because killing animals, especially over petty shit, and especially especially in front of others while disregarding their reactions is literally psychopath shit. Your insistence that this is some kind of 'Phy Op' just makes you look like one, too. Edit: and to call people out for 'glowing' is not helping your case, either.

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

[-] [email protected] 27 points 4 days ago

It shows anger issues and a proloclivity towards disproportionate retribution. Most people wouldn't kill an animal for a simple chip/fry heist.
