I know that gulls can be annoying, they steal grub, they dive-bomb on our heads (and cars) but this goes beyond me... :(

Why on earth would any person want to purchase a crossbow to kill wildlife, it's beyond me. Some sick individuals going about!

Some people just don't have any compassion. I really like gulls, on a clear summer day, they just appear to glow white in the sky. Check them out when we get blue skies, they look magnificent as they cross the skies above us.

Aye, but remember to keep yer mouth closed as you look up. The amount of times I've been crapped on ... serves me right for living in Aberdeen. :shock:
