Law Must Be Upheld to Protect Seagulls

By Betty Lou Masterson, North Cape May

To the Editor: 
Letter writer John Langenheim wrote, “The ‘victim’ was a seagull, for heavens’ sake. Yes, protected by state and federal statute and international treaty. So what?” It sounds like the law means zip to him.
If we let Edward Frost get away with this, people will be beating seagulls to death or near death to suffer until they die on beaches, boardwalks, etc., thinking it is OK if they don’t like seagulls.
We need to make an example of Frost to show others that no one can get away with doing this so that it does not become a common practice. Shore Animal Control needs to hit him with all they can by law, so it goes no further. 
ED. NOTE: According to a Herald article, this case has been resolved. See story here
