thread over
Thread reopened. It was Laridae based combat, at least.
This is very Oban news. Instead of arrested, this man should be studied: it doesn’t seem easy to pick up a seagull? Then attack with it and have it be unharmed?
This man is a wizard
Article says he wasn't arrested, just "conveyed to his home"
I'm glad the birds were alright
The man in question:
Can any experts in bird law weigh in on this?
Can't find this funny like I'm meant to and other comments seem to when its blatant animal abuse.
Understood, and I respect your empathy. Rest assured I never would have posted this if the article didn't report the birds are alive and well.
