seagull taste nice hmmmor so im told

[Lightspeed]

didn't know that seaguls were a protected species?

They can be a big nuisance though. When amassed in big numbers they become relatively fearless and will mob attack Chavs for their pasties and chips.

......hmmm maybe not such a bad thing actually. Perhaps they should be protected after all.

back when i lived in Plymouth a seagull tried to take my pasty out of my hand....inside the bus station...needless to say it didnt make it....no one comes between bigpaul and his pasty!

seagulls are nothing more than rats with wings..they'll eat anything-and i do mean anything, they have been a pest around the coast of Devon for years, attacking locals and tourists alike.

Why are they endangered? There's bloomin loads of em, The ones on Dawlish beach are the size of cats and scary as hell. Lost a bit of my fish and chips to one of the greedy blighters, Bloody noisy cretins they are as well,

[bigpaul]

i have no idea why they are a protected species, they are a pain and a bloody nuisance and of no use to man or beast!

Yet again the media have got it wrong. Not all gulls are protected.

Under Natural England's General Licenses (wml-gl04 and gl05), both these are pests and can be destroyed "To preserve public health or public safety and / or prevent serious damage or disease"

Gull, Lesser Black-backed Larus fuscus
Gull, Herring Larus argentatus

These license conditions include the requirement that the user must be satisfied that legal (including non-lethal) methods of resolving the problem are ineffective or impracticable.
So just shooting them because they P. you off is a no no.

Do Chavs fall in the same unprotected vermin category?
