From Diana Taylor
I was saddened to hear about the plight of migrating songbirds decimated by poaching (14 February, p 48). Are the activists who tackle the poachers also picketing restaurant owners who serve these birds as delicacies? Are they shaming the patrons who eat the little birds?
Such actions might prove more fruitful than going after the hunters. The restaurants are probably located in urban centres and thus easily exposed to the glare of publicity.
