Wang posted a screen shot of the rejected reports from six volunteers on his Sina microblog and demanded a reply from Taobao, the country's largest e-commerce company, by Monday.

"Actually the volunteers took the action last March, when Taobao promised they would close such stores down, however, they're still there, selling devices to kill wild birds," said Wang.

"So far, no reply has been received from Taobao," he said.

On Tuesday, there were no results when searching for "bird hunting devices" or "bird trapping equipment" on Taobao, however, bird call MP3 players to lure birds and bird nets are in stock under names such as "bird training device" or "bird electronic remote device."

"Gongyou Yongju," an online store registered in Hunan Province, has more than 10 kinds of digital bird sound MP3 players in stock.

The anonymous store owner said the best seller was "Generation Four of Wild Horse bird sound decoy with speakers," priced at 650 yuan. He had sold 64 such devices recently.
