One province of Argentina will send hunters to protect whales from seagulls that have learned to attack whales.

It appears that the motive for caring about the whales is that whale watching is a big business there.

The province says that this is temporary and that it will implement the right solution, which is to deny gulls access to garbage.

One interesting point is that keas in New Zealand attack sheep in the same way. Keas are not closely related to gulls, so it seems that this kind of behavior is a potential for many kinds of birds.
