as someone who’s had their food stolen by a seagull a few times i once found myself in a fit of petty rage googling “can i kill a seagull” and the answer is no, like legally you cannot, they’re protected birds
it does not. Seagulls are protected in: UK, Ireland, all of Europe, all of North America, Mexico, Australia, Japan, Russia, and probably more but i can’t be bothered to go past the first few Google searches to find out
they’re covered by migratory bird protection legislations from what i read. and some of the seagull spiecies are pretty endangered. can’t tell you more than that, i just accepted that the sky thieves dickheads cannot be touched
I’ve never heard any Brit say UK isn’t Europe. Are you confusing Europe, a continent one cannot secede from without moving tectonic plates or waiting billions of years, with EU, the European union, a political union?
And I’ve never actually seen a Hippopotamus, what’s your point?

At what point did I mention plate tectonics or the European Union?
they’re also protected in China and India, which together with the other ones accounts for like 70% of the world. are they protected everywhere? probably not, there are definitely some countries that have little to no wildlife protection legislations, but i’m not exactly a seagull murder law expert, nor do i want to become one, so i’ll stop at that

I would suppose that depends on the jurisdiction.

Why are they protected? They’re rats with wings.

I like how you said all of North America, and then also Mexico as if it wasn’t part of NA.
And that UK and Ireland aren’t a part of Europe?
I’ve heard Brits piss and moan that the UK isn’t part of Europe before. Whether or not that has any merit I can’t say, I’m not European.

uhoh, my 2 from geography is showing (scale from 1-6, with 1 being fail)
It’s okay. I live in a glass house, so I shouldn’t throw stones.
Well thanks for your exhaustive legal research.
What we need is someone versed in bird law.

Protected status in the UK. “[T]hey are protected by law. This means it is illegal to kill, injure, or capture a gull.”
HTH.
Ok, now what does jurisdiction mean?
dictionary.com is a good place to start.
they’re also protected in China and India, which together with the other ones accounts for like 70% of the world. are they protected everywhere? probably not, there are definitely some countries that have little to no wildlife protection legislations, but i’m not exactly a seagull murder law expert, nor do i want to become one, so i’ll stop at that
Unless… you do it in self-defense
