A female mainland Chinese tourist recently tempted a seagull to fly to her with bread at the Kunming Ridge Dam and caught it, and took a video to post online and bragged, “There are roasted squab tonight, how many do you want to eat?” It was bombarded by a large number of netizens.

The video shows a young woman wearing a khaki trench coat, luring seagulls flying in the sky with bread in her hands, waiting for a seagull to fly close, she grabbed the seagull, ignoring its painful struggle, posing for photos and taking videos, and even jumping for joy. The woman also uploaded the film and photos to the Internet and bragged, “Look at me grabbing seagulls with my bare hands, easily, tonight there are roasted pigeons to eat, see a share, you want to eat a few?” Even respond to friends “an afternoon can catch a few hundred.”

The photos show that the red-billed gull caught in the woman’s hand was obviously frightened and fluttered its wings in fear.

The woman’s behavior was quickly scolded by a large number of netizens, “the animal is likely to die of fright because of this, really no conscience.” “Animals are not props for your photos, respect for Life do not understand? I also grabbed you to take pictures you will be happy?” “Wild animals also dare to catch, not afraid of infectious diseases. Epidemic lessons are not enough?”

The female tourist later came forward to apologize, saying she was the first Time to go, did not know that seagulls can not be caught, “I caught a little, fed some bread and let go, then someone said you can not catch, I let go, but also on the spur of the moment, did not know that you can not catch, because it is wild, want to say catch to take a picture, sent to friends to see, if you know you can not catch, I will not catch, it is indeed my fault. .”

On December 16, 2014, a mainland tourist cruelly broke the wing of a red-billed gull at the Ridge Dam, resulting in the death of the gull.
