Apparently I'm in the minority, but this was cruel and unnecessary. We're in what was their home, after all.
Not disagreeing about the cruel part but some of these birds live and breed because of humans. They survive in place where they couldn't without humans.
I cannot be convinced killing a wingrat is ever wrong, but I respect your viewpoint.
For a bird to get caught usually implies they aren't feeling so good.. imagining killing a sick seagull makes me sad.
They're aggressive and rude about trying to survive, yes, but we're top of the food chain, and have kinda nicked a tremendous amount of their fish out of the water.
(Shrug) what's done is done, but I'd lose a lot of respect for this man if I knew him.
I've caught one before as an early teen for a bet. It wasn't sick to my knowledge, just utterly unafraid of people and no harder to wrangle than a chicken once you get in range.
My memery aside, I agree bare handed killing a seagull to take revenge is sorta barbaric, which is why this isn't actually a pro-brit meme
That's true, I'm eating the onion, sort of. Good luck to you and yours, especially with your superhuman capture ability haha
Well tbh my lil brother as a kid caught a pige (lots of exp at home with us) and it was completely fine. Wild.
I can only hope so, birds around my parts are long gone before you're within hand distance haha.
Dang, yeah a lot of them are scared shitless by humans.
Seagul are not wingrats those would be pigeons
