Seagulls are classed as migratory and therefore are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918. This makes it illegal to pursue, hunt, kill them for pinching chips or sell gulls as well as being against the law to disturb, destroy or move any active seagull nest.5 Feb 2018

"He was also ordered to pay... a £85 victim surcharge."

There's a law that needs changing. Belongs to a different era when we hadn't made our cities so accomodating to them. I'm not suggesting we kill them all but some management in specific places wouldn't go amiss.

Spot on they are a bally annoyance at a lot of seaside resorts and not only at seaside resorts as they come inland as well now.

Quote from the article:

"Witnesses saw the attack - and shocked bystanders, including children, had to look on as the man killed the gull."

says a lot about our mawkish society doesn't it...? that witnesses saw the attack and HAD to look on...

I'm surprised they didn't get their phones out and video it too. We were so shocked by what we saw - we just had to video it and share it online.

I was distracted by this headline halfway down the page: “Girl hired out for sexual abuse by her granddad subjected to sick weekly ritual”

What sort of ******* world do we live in?

A world where people are more outraged by the death of a flying rat than things like that.
