CONVICTED (2019) | John Llewellyn Jones, born c. 1954, of Bishopston Road, Ely, Cardiff CF5 – killed a seagull when it tried to steal his chips Llewellyn-Jones “smashed” the bird against a wall during a trip to Weston-super-Mare in July 2018. He denied breaching the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 but was found guilty. The RSPCA said: “He cared more for his chips than what he did to the gull.” RSPCA inspector Simon Evans said: “This was an unthinkable and despicable way to treat an animal. “The gull was smashed against a wall by the man… and bystanders, including children, had to look on as the man killed the gull.” The RSPCA advise people not to feed gulls and to dispose of rubbish properly, particularly in seaside areas more prone to the birds. Sentencing | 12-week curfew; total costs and charges of £835. BBC News
