Pretty sure I emptied the old pun cannon on the title, so I’ll just go ahead and leave this here. Sunderland man ‘watched porn as he masturbated over captured seagull’
Lesley Burgess, prosecuting, told the court Lee chased one bird before picking up a smaller gull – and was caught on CCTV looking at his phone while holding the bird between his legs and masturbating.
Once he had finished, he pulled up his pants and gave the bird a “little kick”, the court heard.
Lee was arrested at a nearby takeaway and told police he picked up the gull because he thought it was hurt and was looking on his phone to find out what he should do.
But instead of searching for a vet’s phone number, as he claimed to have done, police checks revealed Lee had actually been looking at porn sites, the court was told.
He admitted to causing unnecessary suffering to an animal and was to be sentenced once a psychiatric report was completed.
