There's an on-going debate in Berwick-upon-Tweed at the moment - a councellor suggested a cull, but some people objected so they're thinking of another idea. But they haven't said what as of yet.
Lol, great answers - I wouldn't mind them but they scream all night long and I don't see the purpose of them, I hate them - I'm normally a realy placid person :�)
its the evil glint in their eyes that outs them as the criminal element of the bird world - I don't condone extermination but maybe electronic tagging to ensure they don't venture into areas where ice creams or fish and chips are present.
When you say "anyone else?", do you mean "is there anyone else who agrees with the proposition of killing seagulls?", or do you mean "is there anyone else whom we should include in our target list of people to be killed?"? If the latter, I vote to include countryside people and republicans and racists and homophobes and the evil alien hippopotamuses who have come from another planet to destroy civilisation.
I would cull half the seagulls they are of no benefit to society they encroach the towns a cities and are a perfect nuisance as for the screeching at four in the morning if i had a gun i would shoot them and the mess they make when tearing open rubbish bags surely is a health hazard.
Seagulls were first introduced to this country in the 18th century by a group of travellers who kept them as pets, usually in poor condition, chained to a stake in the ground by the roadside.
They were introduced to the wild after several escaped and proved to be prolific breeders. To this day, they retain their Romany roots being generally found at the seaside or on rubbish tips and would rob you soon as look at you.
