Yes, that's the way it appears to me too, Donkeyman, although I would have just let the gull keep it.

In Bridlington, the seagulls still eat fish. The only problem is, they prefer their fish battered with some chips, salt and vinegar and tomato sauce!

One day, my brother and I were out for the afternoon in Brid. He left his meal on the table to fetch more bread and butter, and the gulls were down in seconds scoffing his fish and chips! (Well, actually it was me who scoffed them, but I blamed it on the gulls! )

Re: Would you have challenged this idiot?

I reckon greedy gulls are actually a clever government stealth tax. Gulls eat our waste and left-overs, which means that the councils don't have to employ people and machines to clean up!

The tax is paid when we buy take-away food at our seaside resorts. Since the Government does not provide any public warnings about the possibility of having our grub nicked by gulls, the gulls always have lots of opportunities to nick our food!

Furthermore, the economy benefits with take-aways often being able to sell more food to us in order to replace food which has been pinched by the gulls!

Don't think I would have challenged him. I might have offered to buy him another doughnut in return for releasing the gull, but I certainly wouldn't have got into a fight about it!

The thing is, that guy took it by the neck, he shouldn’t have done that, imo, it was a cruel thing to do...

How would you like to be taken by the neck, held in that position for quite some time, then thrown over the sea wall...

It’s a living creature that should be treated with respect, it’s a wild bird for heavens sake......” wild”...

Re: Would you have challenged this idiot?

One nicked my Flake out of my 99 ice cream in Cornwall and then came back for a slurp of ice cream.

I am not a big fan of gulls after that. l mean....they are so skilful at it! Like professionals!
