Shit you got me
They were trying to capture the dialect of a pensioner. I’m positive the word choice was intentional.
Then there’s 've
As an aussie who has had many foods taken by birds including a fucking eagle that stole my burger out of my hands, this is some sociopath shit
I reckon. Birds are fuckin psycho.
seriously. who steals a french fry?
Meanwhile perhaps 100s of millions of hens live in small cages in probable misery because we want cheaper eggs.
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…
Edit: Finally after everyone spent all day being mad at me for asking for information, one of you got me some. Thanks alekwithak!
Yeah, because killing a huge fucking seagull in front of kids is a totally normal thing to do.
So all not normal things are psychotic?
No but brutally killing an animal in public in front of children is.
They should have brought it home and killed it in private like a civilized person.
Ah, so now we have to figure out if there was intent kill let alone intent to brutally kill. I think this thread is where I am having this discussion , but let me know if you think it is too far off and want to start your own.
Tbh, I don’t care what the “intent” was. Swinging an animal by its feet into a wall because it stole your chips is an entirely inappropriate response.
Like if you kicked a dog in the head because it peed in your lawn. It’s a disgusting and very much non-proportional response.
Ok, to be clear. Your argument is that accidently killing a bird makes you a psychopath. Do I have that right?
Yeah! Like that!
He accidentally grabbed the bird’s legs, accidentally hulk-smashed it into a wall, accidentally got its blood on his chips, which he accidentally ate while smirking.
You’re winning, keep talking!
The moral highground is an addictive drug. People are desperate for it.
Because killing animals, especially over petty shit, and especially especially in front of others while disregarding their reactions is literally psychopath shit. Your insistence that this is some kind of ‘Phy Op’ just makes you look like one, too. Edit: and to call people out for ‘glowing’ is not helping your case, either.
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?
"I heard one of the mums say “why did you do that in front of my child?” and he said “it’s vermin, you should teach your children about vermin”
I said ‘why did you do that’ and he just shrugged his shoulders and walked away’
Sounds like a great guy. He’s lucky to have you here defending him for some reason.
This is what I have been asking for all day. Your the first person to provide me with some actual information. Thanks! After seeing this, I think the person did intend to kill the seagull. I don’t know if it rises to psychopathy, but everyone else’s reactions seem to make more sense now.
I’ve given light bonks to my wife before. It’s a shame the judge won’t see reason.
Thanks for self reporting your spousal abuse I guess.
Hey! You’re supposed to be on our side!
The wife-beater bird-beater consortium will hear about this.What is happening right now? Are you writing a book? Is this roll play?
You know, if you have some information or an augment against my point. You can just say it. Wrapping it in sarcasm or whatever that last post was, doesn’t help me and others understand what you are getting at. Also, it doesn’t make you look very good.
Look, man. I just talked to Chris Brown. He told me you will be sanctioned and put into the bonk-pit for 21 days for being a bird lover. That is, unless you can post a video of you bonking a bird right now to prove you aren’t a traitor to our cause.
You can email it to wife.keeps.stealing.my.chips@birdwatchers.com
Have you simply never used your hands to do anything before? Or maybe you were born without hands?
I’m just wondering how a human reaches adulthood without understanding what will happen when you nunchuk a seagull into a wall.
So your implying he used full force? How do you know that, is there a video?
So you’ve never used your hands to do anything before, got it.
Are you AI? This is a level of not understanding human strength that seems very ‘I am not human’.
Wait so you’re saying everything you do is full force?
In my experience I can adjust the power and speed I use to do things. This must be blowing your mind.
I’m reading all your comments in the voice of John Mulaney
Wtf is this argument? Swinging things applies other forces besides your own power and speed, and since you brought up those two forces you must realize there’s a minimum of both that must be applied in order to swing an object properly and you’d also know full well as Newton’s third law of motion dictates that when said swinging object meets the object at rest that the sum of those forces will be exerted back onto the swinging object. Every choice made equals bird death. He didn’t flick it on the nose, he didn’t show it up slightly, he didn’t swing it into some software brush or a beach ball or an elastic fence, he swung it into a brick wall. A + B = C. Anything else is just conjecture on your end, made in some vain attempt to justify brutish thuggery just because the victim was an animal you don’t respect.
Try it yourself. Get about two feet of rope or something. Tie an egg to the end. See exactly how much speed and power you have to use to get it to properly swing. Then swing it into a brick wall and try not to break the egg. Make sure to film the attempt, I’d love to see it.
Imagine making a mistake, it couldn’t be this guy — this guy only takes W’s and can perfectly control his body. Down to his fucking heart rate like Hannibal, wow — us lowly mortals will never compare to the guy with volume sliders on his muscles.
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!
Humans:
- Takes all the fish for themselves
- has bussiness dump to birds perfectly edible but to humans not commercially pretty enough fish bits in the trash.
- builds apartments on the gulls original habitat
“wHy Do ThESe SEaguLl KeEP STEalinG FrOm Us”
I also grew up at the coast and yes they are a menace. But as the saying goes fuck around, find out.
Imagine if we restored and maintained the habitat and did a daily collection of fish waste to dump near that habitat.
Yeah, that seagull sure as hell found out.
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.
They’re also a “menace” because many people actively feed them. It’s the same as ducks following people around expecting bread.
Well said!
Seagulls: 2,047,7998, Humans: 1
to be fair I haven’t seen a seagull spin somebody around by the head and kill them
You should, it’s quite the sight
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.
Most are the hunted, some are the hunter.
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.
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. People should learn to protect their food instead of being a horrible piece of shit.
That’s why I prefer bagels.
The bird shit might clear the hole?
Nah I just prefer gulls that fly over the bay.
Well played
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.
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
That just sounds like they’re being smart to me. They do it to get food, not to be malicious. Unlike humans.
Doesn’t make them any more convenient to live with than hungry mosquitoes or botfly larvae
Hilarious…You gotta admit that’s some savage survival skills…hatred yes but maybe some respect.
Fuck seagulls. They are made to piss of humans.
If you hurt animals, you suck.
Factory farms and the entire livestock/dairy/meat industry does indeed suck.
I love living in a seaside English tourist area, watching tourists get absolutely bullied to bits by the seagulls.
That’s crazy behavior honestly. Don’t let that guy have access to kids, they wouldn’t make it long.
They’ll survive as long as they don’t steal his chips.
Don’t steal his chip
Simple as
This thread seems very British.
I’m not. I think that kids would steal his chip. “Simple as” as my pasty strange voiced relatives say.
Those kids better stick to their own damn chips
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
I would suppose that depends on the jurisdiction.
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
Why are they protected? They’re rats with wings.
I feel like the default is that you aren’t allowed to kill animals. Not as in most laws outlaw killing any animal, just that there are probably a lot of laws about randomly killing animals that aren’t like tiny bugs and stuff. Like you can’t just kill a deer unless you have a hunting permit. You can’t catch fish without a fishing license. Sure, you’re probably allowed to kill animals on your property that are a nuisance or anywhere in defense, but I wouldn’t just assume I can kill a random animal.
I think there’s a clear difference between an animal that’s a known nuisance and any other. If a rat and an emu both wander into my yard, the rat’s life is forfeit, but I’m not gonna fuck with the emu for multiple reasons.
Probably for the best, they defeated the Australian army in the 1932 Emu war.
they’re covered by migratory bird protection legislations from what i read. and some of the seagull spiecies are pretty endangered. can’t tell you more than that, i just accepted that the sky thieves dickheads cannot be touched
Well thanks for your exhaustive legal research.
What we need is someone versed in bird law.
https://birdfact.com/articles/are-seagulls-protected-in-the-uk
Protected status in the UK. “[T]hey are protected by law. This means it is illegal to kill, injure, or capture a gull.”
HTH.
Ok, now what does jurisdiction mean?
dictionary.com is a good place to start.
they’re also protected in China and India, which together with the other ones accounts for like 70% of the world. are they protected everywhere? probably not, there are definitely some countries that have little to no wildlife protection legislations, but i’m not exactly a seagull murder law expert, nor do i want to become one, so i’ll stop at that
I like how you said all of North America, and then also Mexico as if it wasn’t part of NA.
And that UK and Ireland aren’t a part of Europe?
I’ve heard Brits piss and moan that the UK isn’t part of Europe before. Whether or not that has any merit I can’t say, I’m not European.
I’ve never heard any Brit say UK isn’t Europe. Are you confusing Europe, a continent one cannot secede from without moving tectonic plates or waiting billions of years, with EU, the European union, a political union?
I’ve never heard any Brit say UK isn’t Europe.
And I’ve never actually seen a Hippopotamus, what’s your point?
Are you confusing Europe, a continent one cannot secede from without moving tectonic plates or waiting billions of years, with EU, the European union, a political union?
At what point did I mention plate tectonics or the European Union?
uhoh, my 2 from geography is showing (scale from 1-6, with 1 being fail)
It’s okay. I live in a glass house, so I shouldn’t throw stones.
You might break something!
I got a 2 in literary metaphors.
all of North America, Mexico
Hmmm. I mean I guess I get mentioning UK separate from the EU, but idk about Ireland, isn’t it part of the EU?
To be very clear, I’m not trying to contradict that it’s illegal to kill seagulls in a lot of places.
yea i’m bad at geography
It’s okay, I couldn’t name all 50 states on a map.
Unless… you do it in self-defense
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.
Those motherfuckers can be huge, too. The building where I work has a kestrel nest on the roof. Last week, there was drama when some seagulls showed up and were apparently trying to kidnap and eat the kestrels’ young ones.
I straight up witnessed a city seagull kill and eat an adult pigeon whole. It was pretty quick and wild to see.
Labour’s weak attitude to immigration is to blame here just letting these thieves just fly into the country!
What is the average air speed velocity of a swallow?
Laden or unladen?
bin laden. like, they fly away with stuff from bins.
I’m sure someone’s mother should be able to answer this
Last I checked their mother was a hamster.
Should shoot them with machineguns!
