[walshie 2,804]

Why exactly are gulls protected? It's not like they're rare.

Is it not the case that, strictly speaking, ALL wildlife is protected ?

 

Wildlife and Countryside Act or some such ? Malt or Paulus will know........I mean, you're only a moderator, how can you be expected to keep abreast of obscure laws like this ?

Herring gulls should be on the general licence. They used to be until a few years ago, but now it's only the lesser black back-backed gull for some obscure reason. It's the herring gulls that cause all the grief.

Nothing against the gulls but there are far too many in our towns and cities now. I see them regularly chasing and catching fledgling garden birds. Noisy fcuking things too. Cull required, definitely.

Nowt but a bloody pest shit like Stuka bommers, need thinning out without doubt, councils used to poison them during the tourists close season, some dogooders will have stopped it, you know the type, probably live no where near the ba**** s, and think they are cuddly, we had one taking the navels out of new born lambs, a couple of year back, but it was off as soon as you entered the field,

Well they're on licence 2 (Health and safety) at least, not checked the others fully.
