I know some people hate seagulls, but this is animal abuse. It’s clearly distressing them.

I live in seaside town in England with a high seagull population. Over the last two years, someone has been shining a powerful laser at the nesting gulls from May-August, every single night. They are deliberately pointing it at the gulls and it’s clearly disturbing and distressing them.

I have tried but I can’t work out who is doing this and I don’t really have the resources to investigate further.

I want to contact the RSPB and the police but I’m worried no one will take it seriously and they won’t spend resources on it. But at this point, I want justice. They go out of their way to do this every night. They clearly enjoy it.

Please, for the sake of these gulls, I need advice on what to do. How can I make law enforcement take this seriously?

I’m furious about this.

I have tried but I can’t work out who is doing this, but it’s having a negative effect on huge numbers of gulls (numbers are dropping without idiots like this) and its animal abuse. Plus, they go out of their way to do this every night so they clearly enjoy hurting them.

I want to contact the RSPB and the police but I’m worried no one will take it seriously and they won’t spend resources on it. But at this point, I seriously want justice. I want the person to be caught.
