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.
Well said!
Yeah, that seagull sure as hell found out.
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
I reckon. Birds are fuckin psycho.
seriously. who steals a french fry?
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.
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.
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.
Doesn’t make them any more convenient to live with than hungry mosquitoes or botfly larvae
That’s why I prefer bagels.
The bird shit might clear the hole?
Nah I just prefer gulls that fly over the bay.
Well played
Hilarious…You gotta admit that’s some savage survival skills…hatred yes but maybe some respect.
Fuck seagulls. They are made to piss of humans.
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.
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.
to be fair I haven’t seen a seagull spin somebody around by the head and kill them
You should, it’s quite the sight
If you hurt animals, you suck.
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.
That’s crazy behavior honestly. Don’t let that guy have access to kids, they wouldn’t make it long.
They’ll survive as long as they don’t steal his chips.
Don’t steal his chip
Simple as
This thread seems very British.
I’m not. I think that kids would steal his chip. “Simple as” as my pasty strange voiced relatives say.
Those kids better stick to their own damn 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.
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.
I straight up witnessed a city seagull kill and eat an adult pigeon whole. It was pretty quick and wild to see.
They may be aggressive flying pests but this guy is a fucking psycho.
Nah seagulls deserve the worst
That cartoon version of the old man kills me every time.
Stop stealing his chips
NEVER!
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?
bin laden. like, they fly away with stuff from bins.
I’m sure someone’s mother should be able to answer this
Last I checked their mother was a hamster.
Should shoot them with machineguns!
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
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.
Probably for the best, they defeated the Australian army in the 1932 Emu war.
Well thanks for your exhaustive legal research.

Protected status in the UK. “[T]hey are protected by law. This means it is illegal to kill, injure, or capture a gull.”
HTH.
Ok, now what does jurisdiction mean?
dictionary.com is a good place to start.
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
What we need is someone versed in bird law.
I like how you said all of North America, and then also Mexico as if it wasn’t part of NA.
uhoh, my 2 from geography is showing (scale from 1-6, with 1 being fail)
It’s okay. I live in a glass house, so I shouldn’t throw stones.
You might break something!
I got a 2 in literary metaphors.
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?
I’ve never heard any Brit say UK isn’t Europe.
And I’ve never actually seen a Hippopotamus, what’s your point?
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?
At what point did I mention plate tectonics or the European Union?
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.
yea i’m bad at geography
It’s okay, I couldn’t name all 50 states on a map.
Unless… you do it in self-defense
Meanwhile perhaps 100s of millions of hens live in small cages in probable misery because we want cheaper eggs.
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
Wasn’t cruelty.
It was quick.
You don’t have the same opinion when it comes to rats
Fuck seagulls! Delete them
“They are annoying” isn’t a good reason to brutally murder a living being.
Not brutally murder but like…delete 😎
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.
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.
That’s very cool. Were they thieves?
They atole the hearts of everyone who played with them. Does that count?
You mean the sky rats??? Fuck em. Get em Brit bong
