I was so pleased to read the views of Gloria Wheatcroft (Letters, August 16) regarding seagulls. I support her views entirely.
I would like to point out to Phil Jackson there are more starving gulls around at the moment because of the breeding season but most of them will die through starvation, road accidents or poisoning.
I cannot understand how he can be so thoughtless and cruel. After all, we are meant to be a nation of animal lovers.
Man has taken away the gulls' natural habitat, with overfished, polluted seas.
Instead of moaning and trying to get something done about these beautiful birds, why doesn't he try to do something more positive?
