There's more ways to kill a cat than kicking it up the arse.
He just knew how to handle thiev seagulls
That seagull will now think twice before trying to thieve again !!
It was obviously ok as it flew off again ??

How do you know it flew off again Donkeyman?
In that video it looked like it dropped down into the water dead, to me.

I'm old and ugly enough to know that there's no way that I would have stood a snowballs chance in hell in a physical confrontation. But when the odds are stacked against you the best thing is to create things that change the odds in your favour hence the fall over and claim to have been attacked and trust me, in the event of facing a similar situation that is EXACTLY what I would have done.
The Old Bill might not have turned out for a seagull being attacked but for some old guy appearing to be in great pain they surely would.

It was just like when your cat is fighting you and you hold it tight
enough to hold it, but not tight enough to hurt it ??
If it had escaped with the dough nut it would have been treated
worse by its mates !!

Yes, l understand your proposed tactic Todgy !!
But l doubt the charge of cruelty laid against the geezer ?
If he wanted he could easily have wrung it's neck ?
The fact that he did'nt speaks volumes !!

To me it looked like he held it to remove the doughnut !
Once he had done that he released it !!
BTW, it is common practice to pacify chickens to hold them by
their legs, upside down !!

Re: Would you have challenged this idiot?
That cruelty is not condoned but gulls are apparently becoming more of a nuisance and perhaps even a danger. Should something be done to control numbers?https://www.devonlive.com/news/histo...eagull-4352682
