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

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 124 points 2 days ago

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

Those kids better stick to their own damn chips

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.

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 day ago

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.

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.

[–] Pnut@lemm.ee 10 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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.

[–] RizzoTheSmall@lemm.ee 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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

That just sounds like they're being smart to me. They do it to get food, not to be malicious. Unlike humans.

[–] RizzoTheSmall@lemm.ee 8 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] Schmuppes@lemmy.today 15 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] WhyIAughta@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

I straight up witnessed a city seagull kill and eat an adult pigeon whole. It was pretty quick and wild to see.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 43 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If you hurt animals, you suck.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 24 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Factory farms and the entire livestock/dairy/meat industry does indeed suck.

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 41 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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?

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

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I would suppose that depends on the jurisdiction.

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago (13 children)

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

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Why are they protected? They're rats with wings.

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!

[–] Pothetato@lemmy.world 33 points 2 days ago (16 children)

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

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 53 points 2 days ago

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

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
