Comment on Luv Me Chips, 'ate Seagulls...

  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.

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

      What?

      Killing one animal does not reduce the population of hundreds in any substantial way which could possibly be considered a pest control.

      So, yeah - he is a fucking psycho. He killed as a revenge.

        I can see you don’t really care the details here. Have a nice life.
