David Cameron worried about killer seagulls – they have pecked a pet dog to death

David Cameron, as Prime Minister of Britain, has many problems on hand like the fight against the ISIS, but he is besieged by another problem nearer home and that is all about sea gulls. In a number of attacks in recent times, the seagulls have killed a Yorkshire terrier and a tortoise in Cornwall.
This has been reported in news.sky.com dated 18 July 2015.

The Prime Minister feels a "big conversation" is needed about how to tackle the aggressive birds who are protected by law.
The death of a family's pet dog in Newquay left a scene resembling a murder scene and, in another incident, a tortoise was pecked to death in Liskeard. Moreover, dive-bombing seagulls been a menace for long for tourists who are holding food in St Ives. The birds have been branded as "flying rats".
Seagull expert Peter Rock has revealed that since they are protected species, their nests cannot be interfered with and a cull would be illegal. The population of these birds have doubled in the past 15 years and there is a need to have a fresh look at the legislation.
