I'm with you... I can't (and won't) read it either... the title alone is heartbreaking enough...

I had a hard time but I looked. It is not a video. It is an article about a couple who were eating ice cream and attacked by seagulls. The man proceeded to beat them off with a stick and broke one's wing. He was charged as it was a rare seagull. Oh how my imagination thought this was far far worse! Not to minimise the poor seagull!.

The worst part of this story was that the poor bird had to be euthanized. The bird was only searching for food and this is the end result.

Hate to say this but unless you've been attacked by seagulls you have no idea what it is like. Not just one comes after you.

I can empathize with the guy.

BUT fault must be layed on the people that feed the gulls. We've taught them to get handouts from us. How can we expect them to distinguish between humans that want to feed them and humans that are eating?
