Those responsible should have the same thing done to them as they did to these birds.

[library user]

Agreed.

[Retired Greyhound]

There are just some sick people out there.

Hey, it’s San Francisco...

[sappy]

great, now we’re gonna have to get metal shears to cut all the cans apart now. sarc/

[King Moonracer]

Don’t SF homeless people make trinkets from old tin cans? Seems to me they are at fault.

[Flying right]

What have we told those birds about drinking and flying?

[Gator113]

I’m afraid if I caught those responsible, I would get even for the birds... and I’d enjoy the labor.

That’s just crazy...

[telebob]

Looks like Photoshop.

[GSWarrior]

Perhaps if these people move on to dogs and cats or endangered species of birds you may not find it so humorous. Or maybe you will. I don’t really care.

[goat granny]

cannot figure out how they caught the birds in the first place...seagulls are not easily caught unless they were taken from some nest..

animal cruelty is truly sick...probably a bunch of drunks partying on the beach....

[dfwgator]

They are plotting their revenge.

[Repeal The 17th]

Picture...thousand words...yada...:

I was wondering how the caught the gulls to do this. The photo looks like a baby gull. Maybe someone did this where the gulls were nesting.

[rintense]

Yeah, they’ll ban aluminum cans next.

[Vendome]

Were these pet gulls? What kind of lower thinking does it take to believe someone could have “simply” slipped these around a birds neck?

Not buying it.

But if it’s true, kick that moron in the nuts.

[rintense]

Absolutely disgusting and sick people out there.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Gulls are rats with wings.

[Flying right]

I actually don’t find it humorous, although my actual comment was funny. I hope that they find the person who did this and that he gets a huge fine.
