LOGO for SB's Stearns Wharf?

If you are as upset by this as we are, write Mayor Marty Blum and the SB City Council . Be sure and write to SB Waterfront Director John Bridley and Harbor Operations Manager Mick Kronman .

Tell them you want citations issued for feeding the birds - law-breaking that the City doesn't seem to care about. Either that or ban fishing on Stearns Wharf.

They're good people all of them, we hear, but if we don't let them know what's happening on our City Wharf, we are as much to blame as they are for letting this casual cruelty continue. (There is no reason to hook a gull by the beak unless you're being careless or intentionally cruel. We at Wildlife Caring vote for carelessness, but the result is the same for the young gull!)



Sent on to Wildlife Caring for posting - picture taken on Saturday, October 7. The unfortunate young seagull was too far away to be caught. (And, of course, our correspondent wrote, there was no one from the City available to help. There should be someone there all day, watching out for the birds and the people. Tell them! Show that people care, that this is not acceptable.)
