Catapults are often misused to harm wildlife and companion animals.
Many of these can be easily purchased online, however, this is also the same in physical shops and 'sporting stores'. Our call to action is to encourage responsible selling practices among these shops. You can play a key role by engaging directly with retailers in a constructive and non-confrontational manner.
One effective approach is to ask stores to adopt voluntary codes of conduct, such as displaying clear signage about legal and ethical use, refusing sales to minors, and avoiding marketing that promotes misuse.
With your help, we can also encourage retailers to provide educational materials at the point of sale, reinforcing that catapults are tools requiring responsible handling.
