I am an RSPCA member and it saddens me to read about the attitude of the residents in Rustington towards the gulls.

Human beings are cruel, selfish and unkind. Seagulls don't get drunk, throw beer cans and bottles about, discard cigarette ends or throw out other types of litter.

Gulls don't assault or steal from people. All I'm asking is for the poor gulls to be left alone in peace.
