        The only correct answer. Idgaf about some sky rat, but I’d be a little shocked if someone snatched a seagull out of the sky near me and slammed it into a wall until it died.

        I’d also not give a shit five minutes later and would probably regale my friends with the story of the seagull slammer.

        Right, this is animal cruelty. There are people who find humane ways to deal with “pests” or “vermin”, so the fact that we have extermination practices for some population of animals doesn’t make this okay.

      And those people aren’t any more right… Seagulls are actually pretty interesting, long-living, and intelligent creatures. They simply can’t compete with humans, that’s all.

      Humans should be above this sort of thing.

    Justified. I was in Edinburgh with my family and we had a lovely outdoor table.

    I went to the bathroom and our dinner came out while I was in the bathroom and a seagull STOLE MY GODDAMN £30 STEAK. Just hopped up on the table next to my brother-in-law and yoinked my medium-rare ribeye.

    Fuck those sky-rats.

        Aye who the fuck leaves a steak unattended in Edinburgh? I’m amazed the seagull got it before a junkie scarfed it

      As if you wouldn’t steal a £30 pound steak if it had zero consequences and no morals attached, besides that I don’t think anything deserves to be abused before getting killed and especially not in public with children watching.

      Even if we ignore the animal cruelty, he was bri’ish to begin with. There’s no absolving that.

      “Shouldn’t of” is a way of saying “I’m a basic dickhead who doesn’t care for your woke opinions, up to and including grammar”

        It’s also regularly confused with a way of saying “I went to a school with ‘progressive’ (read: stupid) ideas about spelling, where the ‘teachers’ would say dumb shit like ‘how would you spell it at home?’”

        Fortunately I missed all that nonsense and regularly had classes on the correct use of and distinction between they’re, their and there; two, too and to; bear and bare; should have vs should of; i.e. vs e.g., etc.

          Especially when the opportunity for a cool ass double abbreviation is right there. Shouldn’t’ve missed the chance.

    I’d say the comments section is gross and cynical, but then I remembered this is a British community.

    Seagulls are filth. The more domesticated ones will basically attack you at the beach if there’s any food.

    Hopefully we get seagull slaying more mainstream.
