A New Jersey man was given a 'slap on the wrist' after he admitted to decapitating a seagull after the bird tried to eat his daughter's fries, animal rights advocates say. Franklin Ziegler, 30, pleaded guilty to animal cruelty charges stemming from the July 2024 incident on the North Wildwood boardwalk. North Wildwood Police were called to investigate the incident on the boardwalk at Morey's Piers after Ziegler asked staff for a trash bag while holding the dead bird in his hands. #moreyspiers #northwildwood #newjersey #seagull #franklinzeigler
