John Llewellyn Jones, from Cardiff, Wales was enjoying a bag of fries while on a day trip to Weston-super-Mare, a seaside town in the south of England.
As usual the seagulls were hovering above ready to swoop in and grab any food that might fall to the ground.
But one particularly bold seagull swooped in a knocked the food from the 64-year-old’s hand.
He then grabbed the protected bird by the leg and bashed it against a wall, killing it.
His actions shocked those who witnessed the barbaric act, including children, the RSPCA said, according to The Mirror.
Jones was found guilty and given a 12-week curfew, according to the article.
Such a terrible thing to do and I cannot imagine having to witness this cruel act.
Please share if you too were shocked by this man’s actions.
