    What about a person who works in a meat processing plant?

    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?
