Louis Hoppmann III has been charged with animal cruelty after hitting a gull with a baseball bat on the aptly named Folly Beach in South Carolina. He claims he was just trying to scare the birds away from his food, but that sounds like a post-hoc explanation to me…
Connection to Poop Week:
If you link to the article above, there is a comment that reads “Mr. Hoppman needs to be staked out on the beach, food stacked around him, and all winged ones are invited to stop by and take a dump.”
You know, I don’t condone this, but there were times when I would have described this as “living the dream”.
