People may soon stop complaining about the seagulls?

TV-tip that takes you on holiday

the Summer serial in the media are the seagulls. Gulls building nests, laying eggs, protecting kids and trying to get food. All together to the annoyance of the people.

An image in a news that is meant to describe the suffering of the people should instead arouse our empathy. A hungry gråmåke sitting in front of a bench and looks pleading at people enjoying themselves with ice.

Gull glued to the ground

has lost its a food source. Overfishing and climate change have led to poor nutrient supply in the ocean, fiskeavfallet be taken on land to be cultivated and in addition is the ocean filled with plastics and pollutants. It is hungry and hoping for a few crumbs.

But the article is not about it. It's all about that people don't get to eat his ice cream in peace. People who have never experienced hunger, who do not know what it is, living in abundance, where a third of all food is thrown, also a third of all fish taken out of the sea, and there also fiskeavfallet be done out of the reach of seabirds.

It is the man who is portrayed as the victim, while the hungry måka is a "problem" that needs to be done something with.

Should take the perfect picture. Then came the rude måka

discussed how the gulls should be dispelledfrom cities, after they have been displaced from the coast. There is no focus on why they are in the city, why they are so hungry, why many bird cliffs is empty or it has become old people's home, and why a particular year is mass death of chicks in seabird colonies, and among adult birds.

There is only focus on the people, those who are clutching each bite and complaints at every bit as they lose to the seagulls, before they go home and throw the food in the floods.

My sympathy goes to the little gråmåka. It probably didn't, and that if it managed to nip to a ice, are portrayed as a "terrorist". The who may not have a future if we fail to slow climate change and stop over-fishing and reducing by nature.

it is Hoped that the evolution will produce more empathetic and less selfish people. If not, there is not much hope.
