It can't be a coincidence that as signatories approach 29,000 (thanks for the incredible response) Decathlon appear to have taken down the offending cartridges and various other items mentioning songbirds from their .mt website. 

A pretty cynical and cowardly response, considering thugs who enjoy hunting Thrushes and more can just hop onto Decathlon.fr and buy whirling calling decoys. Or how about Lapwing, or maybe Turtle doves - all species noted at risk on the IUCN Red List?

Your support so far has been marvellous, we have plans to further ramp up the pressure, but can I implore you to please keep sharing on every platform you can - numbers will make an impact here.

The birds really need your help, thank you.
