Re: Would you have challenged this idiot?

Unfortunately, Swimmy, a lot of what is said in here is fantasy. I think Donkeyman may be right on one point though - the video could have been a set up. Human v Human is their choice, Human v Animal is not. I am not saying I would have actually attacked this horrible man - but I hope I would have challenged him in some way.

They would get hammered, it is all fantasy.
There are some who would do so even in the knowledge that they would "get a slap". In this particular case I would BUT I would deliberately make a hell of a fuss about it, fall over, get the police involved, and lie through my teeth in order to get this perp charged with everything I could.

There's ALWAYS a profit in anything. Just sometimes it takes a little effort to find it.

Seeing as you quoted my post Swimmy, I assume your reply was for me?

So will you just clarify where I have said I would hit anyone?
I can assure you I do not fantasize about hitting people.

I couldn't work out why he thought that either, Tabs.

I am now not even convinced the bird he was holding was real. It's body looked to rigid to me. It would have flopped down if being held by the neck, not balanced up in the air.
Notice there was no close up either, just someone on their phone some distance away.

The local council here net the cliffs to protect them from the gulls, so they fly inland and nest of chimney tops from where they dive-bomb home owners, passers by, and pet cats and dogs and they frequently kill small garden birds!

Presumably, the incident took place at a seaside location, which attracts many tourists who are largely ignorant about the many nasty habits of seagulls. The man in question was probably either an innocent tourist who sat down to eat his lunch before being attacked; or a local who is fed up with being targeted by the wretched seagulls and decided to fight back! If more people did this, maybe the wretched birds would learn to stay away!! Or better still, we should be feeding them the pill to reduce their numbers.............

I agree a lot with what you are saying here, I have lived with seagulls so know they can be an absolute nuisance and danger.

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”...
