Sad story, but I doubt it!!

I witnessed a large seagull kill a large pigeon last year.

Gulls are a big problem where I live. I was attacked by one last year and have had similar incidents to that.

lol the wife is fucking dying. I love how the guys know it's going to happen and are just waiting for that shit.

When I was in Costa Rica there was this beach in the national park where the monkey's still people's shit. I would sit there and watch them come up to people sunbathing and just run off with there snacks and shit. It would piss me off when someone would warn them.

In elementary we used to wait right outside the bus drop off in the mornings during the winter. The bus would always stop right by this massive frozen puddle because it had no choice. Guaranteed you'd see at least 5-6 kids in the morning bust their fucking ass on that thing and me and my friends would fucking die laughing at that shit.

Just as likely that it was a bird of prey. Their numbers are coming back strong in the suburbs and they have an abundance of small pets to choose from. They're breeding in every state.

I always root for Eagle.

I think, could wrong, but killing seagulls here in my area of the world is a fine.

They're considered nature's garbagemen.

I'm not overly surprised, some Seaguls can grown big and be powerful, I remember many years ago when I went on fishing trip in Alaska, there were some big Seaguls there and they were so annoying because they kept on diving into the water as we put our bait out.

They obviously couldn't snatch a large dog, but for very small younger dogs I could imagine a large brave Seagul might take a chance.

Also, in high school a kid was sitting out on this patio sorta thing eating lunch and a bird shit on his sandwich.

By bird I mean seagull.

About a decade ago I shared this video here as a thread of it's own.

#1. A seagul took my keys, flew over the water, and dropped them.

#2. Last year I hot a goose with my car. Drive straight over it. 2015 Taurus limited. I looked in the rear-view and it was walking away. It must have rolled on its side, but I know I at least got the wing. I slowed to about 25, but I got it. It lived. I laughed and was like wtf?

P.S. I wasn't trying to kill it, but I don't ever off course or out myself or my kids in danger for stupid animals trying to own the street.

Must have some big seagulls there. Cant imagine one picking up any size dog here.

We do.

I live near Devon (location in OP's article), and the seagulls here are some of the biggest species.

I was in st Ives in Cornwall and saw a seagull get absolutely shredded by a patterdale terrier.

I live in Cornwall, and the seagulls in St. Ives are vicious fuckers. They take pasties, ice creams, chips right of your hands if you aren't careful.

Maybe get a real dog and not a rat.

That's exactly what happened to my dad, one took an ice cream from him. It was massive for a seagull.

Cats have been disappearing left and right lately in my neighborhood. Seems like every day someone posts in the neighborhood Facebook group that their cat went missing.

When cats go missing it's usually the work of Satanic Cults.

Also, this story would have been much cooler if the small dog was snatched up by this Seagal

 

[JabToucher]

dogs are now resorting to arming themselves here!

That’s terrible

I witnessed a large seagull kill a large pigeon last year.

Gulls are a big problem where I live. I was attacked by one last year and have had similar incidents to that.

I went to a beach town. People were getting plunked by the seagulls. Bunch of pansies. The seagulls came near me and I simply swiped at them, and they were like F this we're out.
I do that with the crows too. Go to the park with the kids and the crows harass people and mom's are like oh my kids, and huddle their kids out.
I throw rocks and sticks at them. Haven't hit one yet, but I'm definitely showing them that I'll kill them. Once you show that to an animal they leave you alone.
Pigeons too. Was eating lunch and they were bothering people sitting outside. I got up and threw a handful of rocks at them, they left me alone after that.

Also if a seagull can grab your dog. You obviously don't know how to dog.

On topic.. seagulls aren’t exactly equipped to kill animals and eat them like a bird of prey.. wonder what the method for killing the dog would be.. but yeah, that dog is dead and gone. It’s not like the bird took it to a secret lair and is holding it captive like an evil villain or something.


Can’t imagine how much trauma something like that would cause the owner. I mean, that’s gonna replay in your head for eternity witnessing something like that happen to a pet you’ve attached yourself to. No body to bury, nothing.. don’t even know where your little friend wound up..

Saw a pelican gobble up a baby pelican and give it to its own babies. Wonder if a seagull could shove enough of a tiny dog in its mouth and fly off?

Here they are getting more and more aggressive as they are on a protected wildlife list so people can't kill them. Recently they've been attacking small dogs, before that was just snatching food from tourists.
