Must've been some thrill in running over the seagulls.

Cuz it'd be much easier to feed them poisoned popcorn.

Wtf is wrong with people?
how ppl treat animals is usually a good indication of who they are as a person from what I’ve noticed.

not saying you have to go vegan or some extreme ish like that, but if you’re purposely hurting or mistreating animals when they’re not causing you harm, then you’re probably a ****ty person.
