    What about a person who works in a meat processing plant? Killing hundreds of chickens a day. Are they a psychopath?

      They’re even worse, as they do it with no emotion. It’s cold and calculated.

        Fascinating! So what about exterminators killing bugs? Does the size of the creature matter?

          They’re genocidal beasts and will go to Hell for ‘taking care’ of my apartment’s cockroach infestation!

      What about them?

      Killing hundreds of chickens a day.

      Yes, for food.

      Are they a psychopath?

      Why would they be a psychopath?

        Sorry, I think I got my wires crossed between your post and someone else’s. You were not claiming the person killing the seagull was a psychopath.

          I called him a psycho, yes. He did kill for revenge, not for food. And in front of children.

          I don’t have any issues with killing for food and I love a good steak.Killing as pests eradication is also OK before you ask. This was neither though.

            What are you using for pest categorization? Why are you okay with a seagull stealing your chip and not a rat?

              I am not ok with either. I wouldn’t kill either.

              Pest control works differently. You are trying to kill as many individuals in a very short time span to cripple the population growth. Even if seagulls were classed as pest, killing one has nothing to do with pest control.

                Sorry, I didn’t mean to imply you were ok with killing anything, bad wording on my part.

                When is killing a pest consider pest control and when is it not pest control?

                    This statement?

                    You are trying to kill as many individuals in a very short time span to cripple the population growth

                    So if a house had one rat, killing it wouldn’t count as pest control because it’s not killing many individuals?
