Downriver police department using lethal force on seagulls...

Good points about herring gull habits and their young, Johnny. You learn something new every day.

Perhaps the one point we're not talking about here is that if this parking lot were in use during the day, the gulls would be discouraged from using it as a lounging area. But, given all the disinvestment and economic calamity, maybe we're just now seeing the sort of stuff that happens when the money dries up, when the stores close, when the sunbaked parking lot is so deserted that it begins to serve nature's purpose instead of that of car culture and easy profits.

Maybe this is what the future looks like.

Life after people.

Many other species will survive the human infestation of the planet.

So I guess it isn't a problem then if other species outnumber us? I mean if seagull and geese populations are growing rapidly because of human environments, then aren't these birds expendable? What about rats and mice?
