There's more ways to kill a cat than kicking it up the arse.

The hotel room in Jersey had a flat roof outside of the window. Every morning at about 7.00 a.m., there was a tapping on the window. It was a gull with a leg that had been injured at some time. It tapped with its beak until if got some food.The hotel staff said that it shouldn't be encouraged but of course everyone who stayed in that room, including ourselves, would take pity on the poor injured gull and give it some food. It would take it and then slowly limp away.
I reckoned it was all a ploy and the gull was only playing the sympathy card. Once out of sight, it probably trotted around without the limp and had a smirk on its face.

What a thoroughly disgusting example of a human being! Why did none of the passers-by stop him instead of just laughing at his cruel treatment of such a beautiful bird - I wish the other gulls had attacked him and given him what he deserved.10-07-2021, 11:42 AM

You could be right.
We got them to trust humans by encouraging them to come and feed from us, and then try to throttle them when they do!
Like a bad April fool's joke on them isn't it.
But seriously, if you stand there waving food about in amongst a whole flock of those opportunist birds, you are asking for trouble.
Stupid man I say.

Re: Would you have challenged this idiot?
There was another incident involving a seagull stealing a bit of chicken or something from the guys mouth!https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/new...chicken-mouth/
(Sorry LD, minor derailment) and it was filmed and put on social media. Now I wonder if the guy was teasing the gulls so that it could be filmed for social media in order to go viral?....I mean, who the heck films someone eating a KFC?
