Why is everyone jumping to the psychopath narrative? Is there background on this guy? Why bring up crying children? This feels like a Phy Op to me and some people replying in this post are glowing a bit…
Ibuthyr@lemmy.wtf 5 hours ago
Yeah, because killing a huge fucking seagull in front of kids is a totally normal thing to do.
deaf_fish@midwest.social 3 hours ago
So all not normal things are psychotic?

Because killing animals, especially over petty shit, and Especially especially in front of other while disregarding their reactions is psychopath shit. Your insurance that this is some kind of ‘Phy Op’ just makes you look like one, too.

How do we know they intended to kill the bird and not give it a light bonk? Where did you see he disregarded their reactions?

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.

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!

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.
hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 hours ago
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. Learn to protect your food instead of being a horrible piece of shit.
samus12345@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
That just sounds like they’re being smart to me. They do it to get food, not to be malicious. Unlike humans.

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.
RizzoTheSmall@lemm.ee 1 day 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

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.

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.

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 1 day ago
Those motherfuckers can be huge, too. The building where I work has a kestrel nest. 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 1 day ago
I straight up witnessed a city seagull kill and eat an adult pigeon whole. It was pretty quick and wild to see.
shneancy@lemmy.world 1 day ago
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 1 day ago
I would suppose that depends on the jurisdiction.
shneancy@lemmy.world 1 day ago
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

ComradePenguin@lemmy.ml 1 day ago
What he did was wrong, a bit because of the animal and a lot because of the spectators. It did not suffer, it was quick. It does however feel a bit like cognitive dissonance to strongly disapprove of his actions, while we systematically without any good reason eat animals and have them in small confined areas for optimal meat production per sqm. Vegans and vegetarians however, they can judge him all they want 😉 I am not one of them
chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day ago
It shows anger issues and a proloclivity towards disproportionate retribution. Most people wouldn’t kill an animal for a simple chip/fry heist.
DMCMNFIBFFF@lemmy.world 5 hours ago
It might not have been the first gull who stole his chips—a man has his limits.
ComradePenguin@lemmy.ml 1 day ago
He should not have. But we kill animals all the time simply for eating meat, because we think that tastes a bit better. We don’t need to inflict suffering on animals for years, we can abstain from meat. How are we more moral? Just because we outsource the killing? I so not condone his actions, just point out that we are not better.
ayyy@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
But they will to make gravy and nobody bats an eye.
ameancow@lemmy.world 1 day ago
We are a species of cognitive dissonance. I want to know how many of the people reading this story and feeling revolted or horrified were eating meat at the time.
Also not a vegan per-say, but I have reduced my meat intake and try to buy local to avoid giving money to the nightmare hellscapes like Tyson and Perdue the like. That’s about the best I can manage in my current lifestyle.
Everyone needs to reconcile and work out this dilemma. It’s amazing how many people are dishonest with themselves and others about their reasons for feeling the way they do about eating meat, killing animals, etc. It’s okay to say “I love animals but not enough to quit eating meat” and accept it in yourself. It’s not a worse moral failing than a hundred other contradictory ideas we all hold in our heads every day. It’s okay to say “I find this story distasteful because killing animals should be done behind closed doors to respect others.” That’s also a fine opinion to have.
I don’t get why people have to do backflips to rationalize shit. We are irrational species.
ComradePenguin@lemmy.ml 21 hours ago
Exactly this, I am not trying to say that it is not allowed to have the opinion that this was distasteful. I just find it interesting how hard people judge this person. There are infinitely amounts of cognitive dissonance we all live with every day. It’s not really to judge people for eating meat, it’s more to point our that from a logical standpoint this person actually did not do something much more unethical. Kinda like the thing with the female politician who shot her dog. Which I personally feel is insane and a terrible thing to do, but at the same time dogs are kinda like pigs, and we kill them all the time just because we prefer pig meat over lentils, beans, rice etc.
ComradePenguin@lemmy.ml 21 hours ago
Another thing, I remember when I used to live in a house with a cat and a lot of rodents. Our traps killed a couple a week and our cat killed probably not far from a thousand rodents and birds. We could have protected our house more from animals, and we could have had the cat indoors. Somehow cats killing animals is socially accepted, the same goes for rodents in your house.
