I do not understand why people are so upset about this. People kill vermin all the time in far more brutal ways.
Decorum.
The only correct answer. Idgaf about some sky rat, but I'd be a little shocked if someone snatched a seagull out of the sky near me and slammed it into a wall until it died.
I'd also not give a shit five minutes later and would probably regale my friends with the story of the seagull slammer.
Right, this is animal cruelty. There are people who find humane ways to deal with “pests” or “vermin”, so the fact that we have extermination practices for some population of animals doesn’t make this okay.
Compare this seagull bludgeoned to death with the average rat dying from poison. The rat is NOT getting the more "humane" treatment.
I agree!
Sweet. :) I now understand your post. Thank you.
Whats cruel about it? The instant death? Or maybe the hyperbole?
everyone has thought about at some time, just never been old and cranky enough to do it….
And those people aren't any more right... Seagulls are actually pretty interesting, long-living, and intelligent creatures. They simply can't compete with humans, that's all.
Humans should be above this sort of thing.
Then the gulls should be intelligent enough to piss off until we drop our food or throw it in trash cans.
They're a pain in the hole
Humans?
Gulls
