    “ I live in the French equivalent of NYC rat wise and trust me, either my cat or I get rid of the pests quickly. “

    That’s the part Im addressing with my comment about random killing. I’m not talking about the article.

        That entirely depends on why you are killing these animals. If you are just killing rats or seagulls outside your home, that is random killing.

              What do you think random means? Dude’s not just walking around punching any bird he sees. There was a very clear cause and effect.

                  Then why were you talking about seagulls as well as rats?

                  As I’ve stated repeatedly, it’s not random either way. SPECIFIC pests are being targeted.

                  Can you explain what you think is “random” about either scenario?

                    Because the other poster is talking about both.

                    The fact specific animals, not pests, are being targeted isn’t a factor. If I kill an animal just gecause it is a random killing.

                    A rat that isn’t in your home or your eating your crops is not a pest. It is another animal and killing it because you see it on the street is a random killing.
