    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
