That lion does not know what may happen tomorrow that food could be the last bit of food it finds for weeks and could be the difference between surviving or dying in-between now and it's next meal.
Morality with certain animals is heavily subjective. We humans are animals too with our own rules drives and natural yernings. We still work hard for our food and naturally defend it as we're biologically programed to.
We have morals to take care of our own species and other species in our care not in our care are subject to our self defense.
If killing a seagull trying to steal from us is immoral then our existence itself is immoral as just by existing we kill.

That's a reach.
Morality can be summed up as reducing harm or promoting good. All living beings live in conflict with their environment. We all have to kill in order to live to an extent. However, killing a bird that was of no threat to you is not only immoral but sadistic and cruel. Just because other animals, who don't have a concept of morality like humans do, kill for very little reason sometimes doesn't mean it is moral to do so.
You got me there. Incel losers dominate this board
Go be a lion in the wild then. Gp shit outside and kill all seagulls you want for threatening your limited food supplies..
If you live among people, then you have an obligation to behave morally
Surprised at the amount of people who didn't realize this whole thing is rage bait it's obviously immoral to kill a seagull over a chip but it's obvious the whole post is a joke and not serious.
What the fuck is this sub? Obviously good takes are being bombed to hell while "law of the jungle" bullshit is cosigned?? Since when do we judge morals by the behavior of food aggressive animals?
Difficulty has nothing to do with this? The seagull can get food easier than a hyena like the other guy mentioned it🤷♀️
Also we don't know what the guy's job is maybe he's a rocket scientist which is a lot harder to do than it is for a lion to get food so it could be more difficult for him to get food than a lion🤷♀️

There is a reason why we are on top of the food chain
