I always triple check pyjama day because I'm afraid of this and one year the teacher announced a pyjama day on Friday (triple checked email) but everyone else ignored it because it was also class photo day (not in my calendar), so my kid is in a fuzzy moose onesie in his class photo.

Lol, what? She stopped after 3 seconds of chasing, so if they did tell her to stop, she complied immediately.

She chased them for 3 seconds and then stopped, how do you know that someone didn't yell out "Stop It"?

I'm actually being empathetic, understanding that young kids make mistakes and parents can't prevent them all, rather than being insanely judgy and assuming the whole family thinks it is okay to torment animals based on a few seconds of video.

There is no sound, we have no idea if a parent yelled stop, and we don't know if the person recording is the parent. The kid chased the birds for 3 seconds, not enough time to run across the beach and very easy for a parent to miss seeing.

Yes! I have a vivid memory of this from my childhood, reaching to touch the coil burner. I knew my parents said to not touch because it was hot, but I had no idea that level of hot even existed!

Exactly! This kid is young and still learning and may not have been meaning to upset the birds. Parents can't pre-teach every scenario and this whole incident happened in a few seconds, not even enough time for a parent to intervene.
