The way the article reads sounds more like they want to control population numbers on site rather than destroy contaminated birds.
Cheers,

Yes, definitely looks as though they are trying to cut down on numbers because they are going to feed them something and also prick the eggs,suppose if they took the eggs they'd lay more. Seems a bit naughty to me but then we won't have any say in it, to them the birds are an expensive nuisence with NO rights. HeyHo. Sometimes I'm ashamed to be a member of the Human Race.....Posie.. |

If they pose 'no health risk' to the public why the cull? 
and why were gulls allowed to get into areas with levels of radioactive contamination in the first place?
The whole thing smells fishy | | |
