Blow seagulls out of the sky with guns

3:11pm Wednesday 27th June 2012 in Letters

BRYONY Carney is right in her letter (Falmouth Packet, June 20) “Why isn’t there a seagull cull any more?”

Whilst I can’t personally recall there was ever a cull, I did proffer an idea many years ago (in the Falmouth Packet) that an early, pre-season (tourist) cull, involving the owners of Falmouth’s passenger boats, would take out licensed shotgun owners to a just off-shore area, spread some fish offal on the sea surface – to attract the gulls, and then shoot/retrieve them – for a nice fee per shooter!

Poor little seagulls.

Someone should educate/fine the people that feed the gulls and those that put out rubbish in non seagull proof containers that results in rubbish being strewn everywhere.

if you dont like the sea gulls then move away inland , why is it humans have to kill every thing that interferes with there perfect life's, the more rubbish us humans leave around the more seagulls , may be its time to gull the humans , oh no thats just not the done thing is it, if people have only a few sea gulls to moan about then they are very lucky
