Seagull put down after man seen dragging bird by rope in Blackpool - From the town that brought you Girl gets turned into kebab and Mother killing baby by giving him methadone

Police are investigating reports of a man seen dragging a seagull across a road in Blackpool on a what appeared to be a dog lead.

The incident took place on Monday, with an image and video of it circulated on social media.


The Brambles Wildlife Rescue service, which covers Blackpool, described the incident as “vile” and said some of the comments made online were moronic and from “idiots with cotton wool for brains”.

Police said they were called at 8pm on Monday to reports of a man “pulling a live seagull along the pavement with a rope around its neck”.

The man, in his 50s, was arrested for being drunk and disorderly “and though subsequently de-arrested”, the matter was still being investigated, a spokesperson said.


“The bird was taken by a member of the public to a local vet where they decided it sadly had to be put down.”

The RSPCA said gulls, like all wild birds, were protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.

A spokesperson said: “It is totally inappropriate and unacceptable to treat any wild animal in this way. Putting a gull on a leash would be extremely stressful for the bird as it would prevent it from being able to engage in its natural behaviour and could lead to injury or even death.”

The 1981 legislation means it is illegal to intentionally kill, take or injure gulls, take or destroy their eggs, or damage or destroy any gull nests while in use or being built – unless acting under licence.

Captive gulls are also protected by the Animal Welfare Act 2006, the RSPCA said, which means a bird’s keeper is required to meet welfare needs and avoid causing it unnecessary suffering.

There is no behaviour too strange for Blackpool

Holy shit. Blackpool is the Florida of Bri'in.

Blackpool has always been a bit off, it’s a seaside town so there’s always been that gypsy type carnival roughness. But the last couple of decades has seen most of the Uks seaside towns go downhill. They used to be quite rich and thriving as everyone went on holiday domestically. With the advent of cheap air travel they lost revenue. Then when the rest of the northern industries dried up, they lost more. And then a succession of governments, in their infinite wisdom, used them as dumping grounds due to the cheap hotels and hostels and property. So now they’re full of insane people, dole scrounges and people who are in the dole because there’s just no work. It’s all very depressing, and full of seagulls who will slit your throat for a stray chip

Why did the seagull need to be put down?

I always heard Rhyl was the same way. The unwiped arsehole of Wales.

I misread this as Segal as in Steven Segal

 

[Hitman One]

I hate seagulls so much, why are they protected? They are worse than rats. Total seagull death now

If I had a weak moral fiber i would feed hot dogs with broken glass in them to those flying bastards

These winged cunts are flying tanks. They'd probably digest glass just fine, then train their evil, beady little eyes on you for trying to kill them.

I love that even the brits, who are completely soft for any animal, and are a nation of pet lovers (not in the furry way) are still unanimous in their opinion that Total Seagull Death is the way.

guess he didn't have a "loicense for it"

Indeed not. He'd likely be fine if he had his "Kill seagulls license."

All you need to do is convince the MP's of that small fact, though.

British seagulls are thugs. Bastard things have beaks like razors and will attack anyone walking with food or sitting having fish and chips. They scream 24/7 in the summer amd nest on chimney pots and roof tops in coastal areas and will attack children. They’re a pest.

It looks more to me this guy tried to make it his dog. What the fuck?

Yeah, it seems less like intentional animal cruelty and more like the guy was just wasted and/or had more dope in his brain than braincells.

For anyone going "oh no, poor birdy" in response to the article or these posts let's be clear. Seagulls are avian Gypsies. Multiple UK tourist destinations have very clear signs for tourists confirming that these flying hyenas are fucking lethal and frankly you are safer around the local homeless person with a needle in their neck than the seagulls.

Don't get me wrong, this guy is still a sadist. But this is pitbull on Nazi violence.

I have been thinking about since you posted it. Did you mean to say “Nazi on pitbull violence”, or did you indeed actually mean to call the seagull a Nazi?

This is actually pretty funny. Why did they put it down?

Why did the seagull need to be put down?

I tried to find out too, not much besides the same shit in this article being repeated, but one stated that the seagull looked “severely unwell” and they didn’t know if it would recover.

 

[TrainWreckWatcher]

Its a good thing it was put down before he grew.
If they grow to adulthood they can be a real menace.

Are there any animals in the UK that aren't vermin at this point?

You see that here on the Farms a lot as well. So many of us have a major soft spot for nearly any kind of animal...except pitbulls and seagulls. Those get the thug treatment.

I do think in some way or another this particular seagull fucked around and found out.

Don't forget the endless hordes of elderly and random guest appearances from Mormons and Chinese tourists

I thought that was specifically the East End Londoners?

 

[Sparkling Yuzu]

I fed them chicken nuggets at the beach last yr to see if they would do a cannibalism. They did. Happily. I like them though. My sister, her gf and her kid were doing that tiktok challenge last summer where you put a towel on yourself and then put chips on top and see if they will eat it. They ate it. Luckily no one was hurt (birb or human).
I feed the local ones wet seafood cat food sometimes bc I feel bad people are giving them random simple carbs like stale crackers and cereal. No kind of birb deserves to be abused and choked to death on a rope. Hope this nigger gets some kind of punishment.

If I had a weak moral fiber i would feed hot dogs with broken glass in them to those flying bastards

Please don't. They are important to ocean ecosystems even though they are a pest elsewhere.

And I thought American gulls were assholes.

 

[InsulindianPhasmid]

Seagulls are arseholes but they are also hugely entertaining. Watching 50 of them descend on an idiot tourist who was unwise enough to throw one chip to one of them is always good for a laugh.

The gypsies of the avian kingdom.

Calling it goose stepping was a cunning ploy to cover their involvement.
