Hoping cops net the bird killers

OK, I'm not a big fan of seagulls. Even in the movie "Finding Nemo," another bird refers to them as "rats with wings." I don't have anything against them. But I have been annoyed one too many times by their boldness when I've had lunch on the beach or tried to have a bagel on the boardwalk. And try jogging or walking when they're overhead ... it's a little nerve-wracking, worrying if one will drop a crab, a clam or something worse your way.

But whoever is responsible for killing 35 of them in Pleasantville (no irony lacking there) should have their heads examined. Last week, three young people in a car stacked up french fries on the pavement in a shopping center parking lot, waited for the seagulls to swarm, then mowed them down. "It was kind of ugly, man, blood everywhere," said one of many horrified witnesses. In addition to the birds that were killed, many others were left flopping around injured. That's just nasty:

I hope they're caught ... it's sickening.
