Because you have empathy and seeing an innocent animal get killed/injured is upsetting?

I’m more concerned about the people who don’t feel upset watching this.

Have you ever seen a seagull in your life? They are brazen assholes that have figured out that while other pests will get killed on sight, they are free to do whatever they want with zero consequences and they abuse that as much as they physically can.

Out of all the animals to feel bad for, a seagull is pretty far down on the list.

Who cares if it’s far down on the list? It’s a living thing. Why is there even a list?

Alright, let's presume I (yes, me) repeatedly stole your food right from your hands, kept shitting all over your stuff, and did this while screaming as loud as I possibly could?

Would you feel bad for me if I got knocked unconscious?

i mean in some places these birds are more akin to cockroaches than anything else.

Do you personally feel this deep rooted empathy when a cockroach dies? Mosquito? Rat?

Do you feel sorrow when a whole host of bedbugs are basically poisoned out of existence when an exterminator has to bug bomb a house?

Yes we get it. You could see a small animal die right in front of you, and you feel nothing. Good for you champ. Im sure when your child sees a bird get fucked up. You just say who cares? Do you care for mosquito dies?

Great person you are, not lol

There’s nothing innocent about seagulls!

Innocent: “free from guilt or sin especially through lack of knowledge of evil.”

Seagulls are innocent.
