The City of Barcelona officially cancelled the hunt. This outcome belongs to all 416 of you who stayed loud until they listened. Keep an eye on our community space for updates on how we ensure these birds are protected for the long term.
We, the undersigned, object to the planned hunt of wild monk parakeets in the City of Barcelona, Spain. We believe that:
1. Resorting to lethal means of wild parrot control is cruel in every instance.
2. The City of Barcelona has failed to investigate non-lethal means of wild parrot control, including the construction of alternate nest platforms and other non-lethal control.
3. The planned hunt is a particularly cruel way to control these birds.
Unless and until this wild parrot hunt is called off, we resolve to:
a) Refuse to visit Spain in the future.
b) Inform everyone we know who is planning a trip to Europe to avoid Spain, and specifically the City of Barcelona.
c) Refrain from buying any products manufactured in or imported from Spain.
We hope that the City of Barcelona relents and rethinks its approach to the wild parrots which live there, but if not, we are prepared to peacefully protest this action and exert our collective economic power to end this cruel practice.
We are approaching our next target and need to keep the momentum moving forward. Post this link on your Facebook feed right now so the City of Barcelona sees that we are organized. Text three friends to ensure they sign before the local officials make their final decision.

The city officials remain silent on our demands so I am drafting formal letters to the department heads today. Post this petition link on your Facebook and email your local travel agencies to discourage tourism to Barcelona until this hunt is cancelled.

Have they even tried birth control or moving the eggs? No wonder cities have problems when they choose the easiest violent way out.

This is just barbaric. How can they think shooting birds is the right move for a city like Barcelona? Absolutely disgusted.
