  If the population was two rats? Absolutely. 100 rats? No.

    But two rats will eventually create 100 rats. So you are kind of creating more death. Why not just kill the two rats?

      If there were two and you have killed both that’s also pest control. If there were hundred and you killed two - not really.

      Pests control objectives are either to

      • not allow the population to to grow or
      • reduce the overall population or
      • eradicate the population

      Killing one seagull or rat if there is hundreds of them in some area achieves neither of the three and is therefore not a pest control even if seagulls were classed as pests.

      Furthermore killing an animal by smashing it against a wall in front of children may mean that this person has either psychopathic or sociopathic tendencies. Thus, fucking psycho.

        I don’t understand how these two statements don’t contradict each other.

        reduce the overall population or

        Killing one seagull or rat if there is hundreds of them in some area achieves neither of the three

        So, we doom the man to be a psycho even though he may not be one?

        may mean that this person has either psychopathic or sociopathic tendencies

        Thus, fucking psycho.
