The Seagull and the pigeon

The other day I was walking home from work, and I saw two seemingly innocuous creatures, a seagull and a pigeon. The problem was, this Seagull had just attacked the pigeon and was trying to eat it....while it was still alive. The scene was just brutal, the confused pigeon struggled, while the seagull just kept picking him up, flying up a bit, and flying down and slamming the pigeon into the bricked walkway. The Seagull continued to do this down a flight of brick stairs. I didn't stay to watch.

This type of scene just takes one out of the humdrum of life and reminds one that there are still creatures out there where every day is a life or death struggle, eat or be eaten.
