Seagull flies off with chihuahua it abducted from family's back garden

[DanielWayne]

This is why I will never voluntarily choose to have a rat dog. I say voluntarily because people tend to dump animals on me, and I will care for anything if needed, even a rat dog. Only working dogs for me, not decorative poofs.

Seagulls are nasty and will try anything.

The Great black-backed gull seems like it might be capable of this.

Can one of them swoop down and take my neighbors Chihuahua? What a pain in the *ss. Nippy, angry, barks constantly. Even THEY don't like it.

Seagulls can be very aggressive. I have seen them snatch food out of people's hands, but never small animals, children, beach vendors, women that should NOT be wearing bikinis...…….

I don't know how much a full baby bottle weighs, but I had damn seagull snatch my sons bottle right off our blanket and fly away with it.

I saw one take a large pizza.

A pound and a half or two pound chihuahuas are not all that unusual.

Additionally, it appears she was there at the time, stating "until we could no longer see" where the gull went.

Where is Colombo when you need him...

I've done the reading; now you can. Google is your friend, since you've obviously missed the news.

Well, yes, when you make a claim, you're usually expected to back it up.

Bullbleep.

I don't have to have to "back up" a thing because others are uninformed and didn't read, see, or hear what I did. And that goes for you, too.
