Let's think about it cold. Kill seagull -> no witnesses, and the next seagull might do the same. I mean, let's get on his level of apeshit crazy, and let's assume seagulls actually understand stuff like humans, morals, and above all, human morals, and on top of that, they even care about those and want to comply. You didn't give it a lesson, because it died before it could learn from it, or before it could let the other seagulls know it's not cool to steal chips.
Hell, even when I'm trying to get on his level, it's still primitively dumb.
If a seagull is stealing chips from someone, odds are there are plenty of other seagulls around to witness their compatriot getting merked.
Seagulls understand that stealing from humans is risky - that's why they generally do it very quickly. The ones who fail suffer consequences for their failure, same as stealing food from any other creature. It's the risk/reward calculation any scavenger has to make.
Sometimes they calculate incorrectly. They get forcibly removed from the gene pool.
Of course, it's also illegal in a lot of countries to harm seagulls, so in that sense, he was in the wrong anyways.
It's not about morals that the seagulls can understand. It is not about teaching something. He acted like a moron and completely disproportionately. However it's not that much unethical than killing for meat, when we don't need to eat meat.
Yeah, the guy should have eaten the seagull, not just killed it.
