prole Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 Duh. WSP troopers cleared in Seattle seagull clubbings The Associated Press Two Washington State Patrol troopers who killed three nuisance seagulls at the downtown Seattle ferry terminal will not be charged. The King County prosecutor's office says the July 15 killings were neither animal cruelty nor illegal hunting. The troopers hit the young seagulls in the heads with their batons because adult birds had been swooping at ferry employees and passengers. The prosecutor's office said Thursday the troopers mistakenly believed they were acting under their authority to kill animals to prevent harm to people. Prosecutors say the troopers should have notified the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which routinely destroys nests and kills chicks when seagulls become a nuisance at Washington ferry terminals.

Fairweather Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 I grew up with a single father. I was only about 9 or ten years old when his date at the time canceled out on a Niel Diamond concert at the last minute. My dad looked at me, two tickets in hand, and the rest is history. My first concert. Quote

CollinWoods Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 I'm going down to the Department of Agriculture to sign up for that job killing flying rats. My brother/climbing partner does do this for a living. He works for a company called National Bird Control. It even involves climbing building so it works for him. Quote
olyclimber Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 I can imagine him climbing up on a building to sniper position, and then using a high powered scope and rifle, picking off unsuspecting seagulls one by one. tell me this is real. this is the dream job of dream jobs. Quote
CollinWoods Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 Yeah but firearm laws only allow him to use pellet guns... And nets. I think you should look into your local police dept. for a job more similar. Quote
olyclimber Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 police only deal with stupid humans. i need to get these birds. Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 The last time I killed a bird was in high school. I fired a twelve gauge into a flock of starlings. Six fluttered to the ground, where they lay, helpless tufts of dying dinosaur DNA, twitching. I cried and cried, then wrote a poem about it. Quote
olyclimber Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 but have you ever squished salamanders under your bare foot, a gross dozen at a time? then you too will know the horrors of war. Quote

I never seems to work during duck season though... Funny how that happens. Quote
