That'll just make them hunt baby ducks more. More scraps will make them dependent on you and they won't need to hunt baby ducks.

Re: Loving an image you really hate
I once heard someone say in a radio interview oh yeah, I love animals.. they taste good.. But yes seriously I suppose the gull's doing what it's got to do. I'd imagine it'd be just heartwrenching for the mother duck though. Call me a pansy, but if I was the one taking the shot, I don't know how long I could stick around before starting to feel some kind of guilty. To put some stuff on the other dish of the scales, I once caught a doco on birds (it wasn't Travelling Birds I don't think, but that was excellent) and it showed two parent waterfowl (might have been ducks) picking on, or pecking on if you want to say, the weakest looking chick while it was on the water, til it was too worn from the abuse and too tired to even try to float. The parents left the other 4 or 5 chicks alone. The commentary went on to reason that the parents just couldn't cope with so many chicks, so they had to get rid of the one that looked as if it had the least chance to survive. I thought it was terribly depressing, and I suppose in a sense it's just more proof that nature's much more than oh that's so pretty..

Seriously, though, the gulls are just doing what it takes to survive. People do much more cruel things on a daily basis, some of it to lower animals, some of it to other people. There was a dog at a local shelter recently who had been tied to a tree in the woods and left to starve after her puppies had been taken from her. Fortunately, she has now been fostered and adopted out to a proper family.

You have to admire the gull's ability to exploit a variety of food sources, though. The ducks' lack of response to a new threat isn't exactly a favourable trait. Oh, well. Evolution at work, I suppose. Jostein

You are assuming a lot more mental power in ducks than they really have. Len * There's no place like 127.0.0.1 But yes seriously I suppose the gull's doing what it's got to do. I'd imagine it'd be just heartwrenching for the mother duck though.

Bumper sticker: If we're not supposed to eat animals, why are they made of meat? Yet another good bumper-sticker slogan butchered (sic) by the sub-editor. The right slogan: If we're not supposed to eat *people*, why are they made of meat? Or, in the Flanders Swann version (which predates any bumper-sticker): If the Juju had meant us not to eat people, He wouldn't have made us of meat! As far as I can tell this is the original, from their 1956 review.

I am so offended by this post, I am a vegetarian you know... ;-) j/k, - my family tend to only eat small amounts of red meat, but we LIVE on chicken - eat it probably 5 times a week. This is because of two reason really - taste - no-one in our house likes Pork, (w!), only likes Lamb a little bit, and although we all like a good steak, we can't afford to eat it very often. This, despite the fact that we live, smack bang in the middle of the Beef Capital of Australia - yes, they take a beast from paddock 1km from here, they slaughter him, cut it up, send it to Brisbane for distribution and then send it back to us with a 500% mark-up! Ironic, isn't it? Anyways, I have discovered that chicken mince makes THE yummiest lasagne... tan.
