    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?

                    But two rats will eventually create 100 rats. So you are kind of creating more death. Why not just kill the two rats?
