Angry Gail said although many Brits loathed seagulls – which dive-bomb humans for food – they don’t deserve to die.
She said cats or dogs could have ingested it.
Holidaymaker Karla Reed also found a third.
The RSPCA warned it is a crime.
The poisoner struck in Prestatyn, north Wales on Monday (29 Jul), as reported on Need To Know.
Gail said: “Whatever your opinions on seagulls this is unacceptable.
“We have had two seagulls drop dead in our garden spewing up poisoned bread.
“The knock on effects of this are tremendous.
“We have two dogs who were interested and sniffed the poisoned bread.
“Plus our cat would be very interested not to mention the other birds in the area who may have fed on this bread.”
She added: “What a selfish act.”
This action has more far reaching effects than killing seagulls it can kill domestic pets as well.
One local called Ann – said: “Disgusting behaviour from whoever did this.”
Darren added: “They need to be found and sorted out.”If they hate seagulls that bad what are they doing living on the coast.
“They are nothing more than scum.”
And Sussan said: “Oh that’s sad.”
Denise Theophilus of the Foundation For Feathered Friends that helps wild birds with food, rescue and protection revealed another poisoning case in the town.
She said: “Very grateful thanks to Karla Reed from Nottingham for picking up a poor poisoned gull in Prestatyn and taking him to the emergency vet in Colwyn Bay.
“She is on holiday with her family and is a nurse and said she just could not leave him there.
“Wonder how many people walked past him.
“Not to mention the matter of who poisoned him.
“And why is this somehow acceptable?”Day after day of abuse.
“And people say gulls are the pests.
“Sub humans.”
An RSPCA spokesperson said: “Poisoning an animal on purpose is a criminal offence under the Animal Welfare Act.
“And we would urge anyone who has first-hand information or evidence to contact the RSPCA.
“Anyone who suspects their pet has been poisoned should contact a vet straight away.
“Signs of poisoning can be seen anything from 30 minutes after an animal has ingested the chemical, though it can be two or three days before signs of kidney failure are seen.
“We’d also always like to remind people to be mindful ‘for every kind’ and for motorists to be careful and ensure chemicals like antifreeze are stored securely, and leaks from cars are addressed.
“If you have any hazardous materials in outbuildings please make sure they are locked away.
“It is often difficult to determine if a poisoning was deliberate or a tragic accident, but responsible steps like this can help keep animals safe within any community.”
