I'm sorry people are out trying to punish birds?
Apparently birdkeepers are, yeah.
A seagull stole my chip. Are you suggesting I just Let That Go?
Look, man, I wasn't punishing them I just didn't have anything to feed them but cornflakes. I am not John Kellogg; I didn't think that shit actually would stop anyone masturbating. 🤷♂️
Some of them insist upon it, even if you've never SEEN a fucking flog, much less wielded one against a partner.
