Gulls Gone Killed

Listen up, Seattle, stop feeding the gulls! Those pesky, french fry-begging sea gulls at the Colman Dock ferry terminal need to stop their squawking, pack up, and take their droppings elsewhere, or their deaths are on your hands.

The Seattle Times reports that a team of gull hit men from the USDA's Wildlife Services, armed with carbon-dioxide chambers and pellet guns, have been surreptitiously taking out gulls for a decade.

The agency targets gulls affecting public health and safety on the ferry docks, including the aggressive dive-bombings types and the disease-ridden poopers. Eewww. But, with too many flocking seagulls flying around for the public's own good, an approved 4,000 pesky gulls statewide may soon find themselves in the crosshairs.

  • Why is this the front page story in the Times?



    Also, can we get permission to shoot the tourists who feed the gulls on ferrys? I hate them. And the birds.

    This is awful. What about all the pesky government agents with guns. Maybe we should get permission to be rid of them as well.
