Britain's seagulls swoop on blind woman and guide dog

Britain's meanest seagulls are making life a misery for a blind woman and her guide dog - who are too scared to leave the house for fear of being attacked. Megan Paul, 24, is harassed by a pair of vicious gulls whenever she and her four-year-old pooch Tate go outside. The territorial birds squawk, surround and swoop down on Megan and Tate, often dive-bombing the dog and trying to peck its EYES. Things have become so bad that Megan can longer get the bus to work for fear of being attacked en route. To avoid them she has to fork out £32 a day for a taxi from her front door in Cheltenham, Glos., to the office where she works in Gloucester city centre. Council worker Megan, who was born with no sight and is registered blind, said the gulls only became aggressive towards her and Tate in May this year.
