A Maryland driver is accused of luring seagulls to a parking lot with popcorn, and then mowing multiple birds down with a car. As reported by NBC News, the cruel incident stole the life of at least 10 birds on Saturday morning – on Sunday, the authorities were still searching for whoever was responsible for the criminal act.
Over the weekend, the Laurel Police Department stated:
On 01/04/2020 at approximately 10:47 AM Laurel Police officers responded to the Laurel Plaza Shopping Center, specifically near the Dollar Tree at 9620 Fort Meade Rd., Laurel, Maryland for the report of animal cruelty in the parking lot. Upon arrival, officers observed a group of deceased seagulls all in extremely close proximity to one another.
An investigation revealed that someone had purchased a bag of popcorn from a Dollar Tree store and dumped it in the parking lot before running a vehicle into the birds. Whoever was behind the cruel incident fled the scene.
