Misuse of STIHL file handles

The animal welfare charity League Against Cruel Sports has made us aware that STIHL file handles are being used to make high-powered catapults, which are then being used to kill or injure wild birds. 

As a responsible manufacturer, we strongly condemn the use of a STIHL product for any illegal activity. 

You can find out more about this issue on the League Against Cruel Sports website here: Operation Lakeshot | The League. There is also information on this page about how to report any concerns if you suspect that someone may be doing this.
