Recently, a video has been widely circulated on the Internet, making many netizens angry. According to the Chinese Business Daily, in the video posted online, two men were suspected of feeding seagulls with a box of screws, and even stuffed the screws into bread to feed the seagulls. Despite being reminded by many people, the two still went their own way. This behavior of deliberately hurting seagulls is extremely bad.
Coincidentally, not long ago, there was also a video that aroused public indignation. The video showed that in Weihai, Shandong, several men took turns using slingshots to hit seagulls on the beach. Netizens expressed condemnation, and the local police also publicly responded that once verified, the parties involved would be punished.
Seagulls are the most common and well-known birds at the seaside. They have become accustomed to coexisting in harmony with humans and are less wary of people feeding them. This has also given many "bad guys" People with a sharp mind can take advantage of this opportunity. Some people feed bread, while others feed various foods such as potato chips, fried potatoes, and spicy sticks. This not only pollutes the seawater, but also directly harms the seagulls. But in comparison, the bad behavior of feeding screws to seagulls undoubtedly breaks the bottom line.
Seagulls are one of the "Three Protected Animals" and are clearly on the national protection list. Seagulls have important ecological, scientific, and social values. It is illegal to catch gulls for fun, take photos, raise them, and eat them.
Therefore, if the two people’s behavior of feeding screws is found to have caused substantial harm to seagulls, they will be subject to administrative penalties; if the circumstances are serious, they may also face criminal penalties.
In fact, even if seagulls are not subject to special protection, this kind of murderous behavior needs to be severely condemned and stopped promptly.
Random feeding behavior not only has negative impacts such as potentially increasing the pollution load of the ocean and changing the natural habits of wild animals, but There is also the potential for disease transmission to humans. Do not feed seagulls and other birds at will. It should become common sense and routine. To live harmoniously and friendly with seagulls and other wild animals, it is best to keep a distance and watch their beauty.
Repeated incidents of improper feeding and injury also remind us that despite protecting wild animalsIt has become our social consensus to protect animals and protect the natural ecology, but it is still necessary to strengthen the public's legal awareness and establish a more systematic and complete supervision and enforcement system to ensure that wild animals, including seagulls, will no longer suffer malicious harm for no reason.
