The fact specific animals, not pests, are being targeted isn’t a factor. If I kill an animal just gecause it is a random killing.
A rat that isn’t in your home or your eating your crops is not a pest. It is another animal and killing it because you see it on the street is a random killing.
So, the French person has pests in their home, and they and their cat are targeting those pests.
The guy with food in his hand was having that food stolen by a pest, and he exterminated that pest.
Those both really fit your criteria for pests. Gull guy did not target the bird because he saw it on the street, but because it was directly threatening his food.
Again, purposeful pest removal is not “random.”
That entirely depends on why you are killing these animals. If you are just killing rats or seagulls outside your home, that is random killing.
Sure, but nothing about it was RANDOM.
What do you think random means?
What do you think random means? Dude’s not just walking around punching any bird he sees. There was a very clear cause and effect.
Again Im talking about the French guy I replied to not the person in the article.
Then why were you talking about seagulls as well as rats?
As I’ve stated repeatedly, it’s not random either way. SPECIFIC pests are being targeted.
Can you explain what you think is “random” about either scenario?
Because the other poster is talking about both.

This is a really useful line of argumentation.
