I cannot be convinced killing a wingrat is ever wrong, but I respect your viewpoint.
For a bird to get caught usually implies they aren't feeling so good.. imagining killing a sick seagull makes me sad.
They're aggressive and rude about trying to survive, yes, but we're top of the food chain, and have kinda nicked a tremendous amount of their fish out of the water.
(Shrug) what's done is done, but I'd lose a lot of respect for this man if I knew him.
I've caught one before as an early teen for a bet. It wasn't sick to my knowledge, just utterly unafraid of people and no harder to wrangle than a chicken once you get in range.
My memery aside, I agree bare handed killing a seagull to take revenge is sorta barbaric, which is why this isn't actually a pro-brit meme
That's true, I'm eating the onion, sort of. Good luck to you and yours, especially with your superhuman capture ability haha
Well tbh my lil brother as a kid caught a pige (lots of exp at home with us) and it was completely fine. Wild.
I can only hope so, birds around my parts are long gone before you're within hand distance haha.
Dang, yeah a lot of them are scared shitless by humans.
Seagul are not wingrats those would be pigeons
