Not gonna fly! A New Jersey dad who decapitated a seagull because it tried to eat his daughter’s French fry was sentenced to eight months in jail for the third-degree felony — outraging animal rights advocates, who called it a “slap on the wrist. ” Franklin Ziegler, 30, ruffled feathers when he was spotted clutching the poor headless bird while trying to find a trash bag near the Surfside Pier at Morey’s Piers & Beachfront Waterparks in North Wildwood in July 2024. Ziegler later pleaded guilty to animal cruelty charges, and served 262 days behind bars, NJ.
