Atlantic City Patrons drive Seagull War

January 18, 2008 on 1:33 pm | In Ecosystem |

Atlantic City’s boardwalk has a problem with Seagulls.  They have become bold and fearless in their scavenging ways. Snatching those hot dogs and burgers out of people’s plates as the ‘victims’ helplessly watch. But how did the gulls get this bold? Seagulls are somewhat fearless by nature. They’re like the squirrels of the skies - give them a crumb and they’ll come back for the whole loaf!  They’re made more bold by feeding and if Atlantic City really wants to help control the problem, perhaps they should consider levying fines for feeders?
