Seagull Stealing Ice Cream, Unexpected 'Life Shot'

They attack people, steal food, and rummage through trash cans.
In the midst of this, a seagull is seen attacking a man who was eating ice cream, making headlines.
According to the British media Daily Mail, a seagull jumped at a man walking with his wife on a beach in Lyme Regis, Dorset, when he tried to take a bite of a 3-pound (about 5,000 won) ice cream.
The seagull bit the lump of ice cream the man was holding with his beak.
Immediately, the wife frowned in fear and put her hand on top of her ice cream and took a defensive position.
Fortunately, some of the man's ice cream remained in the wafer cone, and the seagull ran away with just a bite.
Seagull raids are common here in the seaside town of Lyme Regis.
Recently, a Swedish girl was bitten by a seagull trying to take away a croissant and had to be taken to a hospital.
Another woman came out of the bakery and took a cake and was taken away by a seagull.
In response, the Lime Ridge Town Council has created measures such as trash cans and drone flights to prevent seagulls, but they are not very effective.
Five years ago, they released two bald eagles.
Residents are voicing the need for more immediate and reliable measures to authorities.
