    These things would often decimate bird populations. They are not legal to use for hunting anymore.

      decimate bird populations

      decimation then:

      In the military of ancient Rome, decimation (from Latin decimatio ‘removal of a tenth’[1]) was a form of military discipline in which every tenth man in a group was executed by members of his cohort.

      and now:

      The word decimation in English is often used to refer to an extreme reduction in the number of a population or force or an overall sense of destruction and ruin.
