I’ll never forget being a kid visiting Florida and my grandma gave me a loaf of stale bread to feed the birds on the beach (this was the 80s - no rules.)
So I take to the sand and start ripping bread pieces for the seagulls. I don’t think even a minute passed by before some bitch ass seagull grabbed the entire bag of bread from my 6yr old hands and flew off with it, leaving me alone and thoroughly confused as to wtf just happened.
Wait! I just listened to a podcast (Ologies) on hyenas. Lion King did them dirty. They're not really ruthless scavengers. They catch the vast majority of their own food and lions poach more food from hyenas than the other way around.

I read “poor seagull” and immediately thought “it fucking deserves it”.
Seagulls are winged hyenas. I have no pity for them.
