The campaign has gotten mixed reviews, including one Twitter user named Arthur Emswell suggesting that a bird is more likely to survive having a stone thrown at it than eating a scone.

Bagels, only if they are gluten free;
Not all flowers have thorns;
I don害羞草研究所檛 eat meat, I care for my own animals & all the beasties in my wildlife friendly garden. I害羞草研究所檝e driven many miles to get rescued critters to safety & I profoundly loathe any mistreatment of animals. But this is utterly absurd, you sound foolish & it undermines your good work.
