Worry over attacks on seagulls

More and more seagulls are being hurt in attacks by people who are annoyed by their pesky behaviour, according to an animal charity.
The RSPCA say they've seen a rise in numbers of the birds being brought to their wildlife centres with injuries.

They reckon that's down to people taking gull control into their own hands, by shooting or trapping the gulls and leaving them to die.
The charity warn that's illegal, and harming gulls could get you in trouble.

The number of gulls in our towns and cities is rising, and some of them cause problems by stealing food and even attacking people.
But the charity want to remind people there are other steps they can take to keep gulls away.
Those include making sure we get rid of food in gull-proof bins and never feeding them.
