    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.

      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.
