I see the fediverse is composed almost entirely of vegetarians. Feeling bad for a winged rat? Honestly? It's not like this man is just going around killing animals like Baron Trump...
I live in the French equivalent of NYC rat wise and trust me, either my cat or I get rid of the pests quickly.
Why are you randomly murdering animals you do not plan on eating? Your cat has instincts to kill so they get a pass but what is your excuse?
Do you not get that killing a seagull like this is not a good thing?
What about this was "random?"
“ I live in the French equivalent of NYC rat wise and trust me, either my cat or I get rid of the pests quickly. “
That’s the part Im addressing with my comment about random killing. I’m not talking about the article.
It's really not a big deal, and I don't understand why it should be. He had a moment of anger (very valid) and what I assume was an immediate, unthinking violent reaction (also understandable but it might have scared some people around, which is not as cool), else the bird would've just flown away. I feel bad for the kids watching it, but more so for the dude who just wanted to eat chips in peace. A bird is a bird, and he's not going around exterminating all birds in existence. Use your heart to give homeless people money, to raise abandoned kids and to stop imperialism and genocide.
I would argue the moment of anger bit wasn't valid or rational.
I don't think you should be giving anyone advice.
I think you expect too much of people in that case. Idk what tribe you're from (I can guess), but I hope you come from a land of peace loving, vegetarian erudites.
Please guess what "tribe" I am from
You're a gross person
Plants don't count as living things to you, huh
Not vegan, vegetarian, or even uncommonly attached to animals. But you are a disgusting person. Rats are great. Rats with wings are pretty cool too. Killing stuff that inconveniences you is psychotic behaviour. Simple as.
That's sweet. I hope you have the same level of empathy for human beings.
Of course I do. That empathy need not stretch into the loss of a fucking chip. And in front of children no less...
If you have no empathy for animals just trying to do their thing, that is a good indicator that you'll lack empathy for people as well.
This is no about the seagull, it is about actions of this psycho. Swinging into wall? In front of children? Really?
I assumed the dude grabbed it as it was flying out with the chip and just slammed it quickly without much thought. He might have a horrible day/week, just wanted to have some chippies and this happened. Meh. 🤷
Oh for fuck sake...
Look, I sometimes have a bad day yet I am not walking around smashing skulls.
What about a person who works in a meat processing plant? Killing hundreds of chickens a day. Are they a psychopath?
They're even worse, as they do it with no emotion. It's cold and calculated.
I feel inclined to purchase some meat today just to upset you
Bro, it's not the same and you know it. Equating people and animals only means you have less empathy for people.
You're gross bud
Unlike the rats in my city, I shower.
I meant your personality. You as a person are gross.
I understood but I guess you felt it needed reiteration...
I just wanted to make sure that it was crystal clear that I didn't mean your physical appearance.
You couldn't know it!
Would you like it if someone grabbed you by your feet and killed you by swinging you into a wall? What the fuck is wrong with you?
Well, I'm not going up to people and stealing their shit
You've never stolen anything, even as a teenager?
What kind of childhood did you have where you think it's normal to mug people as a teenager?
Ah, of course. People and seagulls are the same and deserve the same treatment and the same considerations. And my cat is my daughter and I'm a pitmommy too. This is why y'all are weird to other people.

“[All gulls] are protected by law. This means it is illegal to kill, injure, or capture a gull.”
Legality does not mean morality, come on. If you've lived in the West, you know it perfectly well. Is this what the conversation has come to?
It's both immoral and illegal, and quite frankly it's indicative of a psychopath.
I think what you're picturing is way worse than what actually happened (although in all fairness he could've been chanting to Satan while f'ing the seagull, I'm just assuming it's how I picture it).
Don't feed the troll, people.
