minus-squaredeaf_fish@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 days agoSorry, 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.
minus-squareFelixCress@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-23 days agoI 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.
minus-squaredeaf_fish@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 days agoWhat are you using for pest categorization? Why are you okay with a seagull stealing your chip and not a rat?
minus-squareFelixCress@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 days agoI 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.
minus-squaredeaf_fish@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 days agoSorry, 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?
minus-squareFelixCress@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 days agoI answered exactly this question in my previous comment.
minus-squaredeaf_fish@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 days agoThis 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?
minus-squareFelixCress@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 days agoIf the population was two rats? Absolutely. 100 rats? No.
minus-squaredeaf_fish@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 days agoBut two rats will eventually create 100 rats. So you are kind of creating more death. Why not just kill the two rats?
