What Ever Happened With Ocean City’s Zero Seagull Feeding Policy?
So, remember when Ocean City wanted to fine people for feeding the seagulls? Guess how many people were fined this summer.
ZERO!
For those of you who don't remember, Ocean City was threatening to fine people $500 and up to 90 days in jail if they fed the seagulls.
Turns out Ocean City police officers focused on seagulls stealing food than people feeding it to them. I mean seriously, who in their right mind feeds seagulls anyway??
City spokesman Doug Bergen tells The Press of Atlantic City,“the only ones who didn't support and comply with Ocean City's crackdown were the gulls themselves," (sic)
Honestly, this doesn't surprise me! I've seen a gang of seagulls attack someones cooler once and LITERALLY turn it upside to get inside. These aren't birds to be messed with.
Perhaps the threat of the fine was enough for people not to feed the seagulls.
Or probably because they're so dang terrifying to begin with.
Either way, read the full story on The Press of Atlantic City, and remember to NOT FEED THE SEAGULLS!
That is all.
