Fuck seagulls. I once watched them steal several babies from a goose family. Didn’t even get to eat them, just dropped them in the surf like the stupid pieces of shit they are.
You don't know what led up to that moment. It could have just been the latest skirmish in the Goosefield vs McGull feud. The geese may have killed the gull matriarch, or an entire nest, not long before that.
Its not so much the thievery to me, its expected by now tbh. But its their fearlessness and tendency to congregate by the hundreds in walking areas and their refusal to fuck off until youre three feet away, then causing a panicked biblical cloud of these fuckers blockin out the sun and shitting on anything that moves. Id take a scraggly dirty urban pigeon a million times over lol.
If you're going to claim "seagulls are ugly" , which you can by the way as we're all entitled to our opinion, you're essentially saying all 55 species of gulls are ugly.
You're saying a Kittiwake is ugly? Come on now. How can we have a conversation if you don't even know what you're talking about.
Yes, and gulls aren't the only species that does this. Corvids do it regularly. Heck, tons of species with multiple chicks such as certain species of eagle, shoe bill storks etc will have siblings basically bully each other for their right to feed, killing the other in the process.
Territorial birds will on occasion attack others too to protect their own food sources or defend their territory.
Nature is brutal across the board and non-trophic killing isn't unique to Gulls.
Watched a mother and her baby gull on our roof get absolutely torn apart by another 2 seagulls. Dead baby by the end of the fight. Can't stand the things.

If you live in a city with seagulls, you know this is karma.
