Cut beer cans placed around seagulls' necks

Seagulls in the San Francisco Bay Area have been spotting sporting "beer can collars." People have been cutting their beer cans, and placing them around the birds' necks. A wildlife group is fighting this, calling it torture. It's a serious matter and could result in huge fines, imprisonment, or both. People need to take it seriously. That's why they're offering a $2,000 reward for anyone who can turn in the villains doing this. They're hoping that this can end on its own, but the reward will encourage everyone to think twice about this.

I think it's terrible that people would find it cool or funny to do something like this to innocent seagulls. I know they're annoying sometimes, but that doesn't give people the right to torture them like this. I'm sure it's hard enough for the seagulls to have t0 share their home with tons of people on a public beach. Hopefully they'll catch this people and give them the punishment that they deserve. I don't think they would like to be forced to wear an uncomfortable collar around their neck.
