Because it seems like at least one person is overly concerned about her dog’s.
Corey is a New Yorker who lived most of his life in upstate New York but has lived in Queens since 2008. He's only been birding since 2005 but has garnered a respectable life list by birding whenever he wasn't working as a union representative or spending time with his family. He lives in Forest Hills with Daisy and Desmond Shearwater. His bird photographs have appeared on the Today Show, in Birding, Living Bird Magazine, Bird Watcher's Digest, and many other fine publications. He is also the author of the American Birding Association Field Guide to the Birds of New York.
They are talking about seagulls, not gulls. Obviously you missed that important bit.
Frankly, a dive-bombing Seagull (http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nDzEkm6c5Xg/R8gACMlaUzI/AAAAAAAAAnk/Xi2xNRWls3Q/s1600-h/seagull.jpg) would scare the living things out of any dog, so I fully sympathise with the owner and think the Seagulls need to go.
If it had carried the dog away she wouldn’t need to worry any more! She could have gone out and got a real dog! German Shepherds don’t put up with this sort of thing…do they Jochen?! 🙂
German Shepherds are the reason why small aeroplanes must maintain a flight altitude of more than 20 metres over Germany. 🙂
Gulls are compacted neutron stars of malevolence and confidence, coated in a thin layer of feathers. Worrying about the self confidence of a gull is like worrying about whether the ocean has sufficient water.
