这已经是博尔地区最近以来的第二件涉猎海鸥的事件，另一只海鸥被发现时它的翅膀已经受伤了。
Mr Rhodes said，‘My main worry is that there is someone walking the streets of Scarborough with a crossbow and shooting at birds,’
罗德说，“我最迫切的担心就是看到有人在斯尔卡博地区看到鸟儿就拿手上的弹弓射向它们。”
‘However the bird seems absolutely normal,' he told the Scarborough Evening News. “The gulls are coming up to the breeding season and I always see this one with its mate when I walk my dog in the area. It is such a sad sight.”
他对斯尔卡博晚间新闻节目说，“但是这只鸟看起来如此的镇定”，“海鸥现在已经到了繁衍的季节，我在自己住的地方遛狗时，总能看到这只海鸥和它的伴侣一起飞行。这场竟挺让人心酸的。”
