Seagulls are protected throughout the US under the "Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918." This protection is due to their coastal nesting habitats being potentially under threat, which could impact their population numbers if breeding grounds are destroyed.

Because we already did that to another bird in the US...

Important part of the food chain. If they didn't exist, who would swoop down to eat my french fries? See the comments. Seagulls survive because the French. It's a conspiracy.

Because a lot of birds were hunted to almost extinction for their feathers. This was especially true for songbirds as their feathers and eggs were sought after for fashion and by collectors. So hunters who were passionate about the sport and out doors formed groups like autobon and pushed for regulations on hunting, to ensure that their would be wildlife for enthusiasts to enjoy. A lot of birds are protected now to this day by those regulations.

Yes. Because people overdo everything.

What happened to the real American Bison (Buffalo)?

What happened to the Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber)?

More fun stuff to read.

Isn't the Bison still here? Just in very low numbers or is that a different type. Only thing you can go overboard with is Wild Hog in Texas.
