Let me just start off by saying this sounds like a bunch of politically motivated ... Bull.
Adapt or die.
Condors don’t even look very smart.
Is it a coincidence that we have learned in ONE week that shooting caused the wildfires in the west AND that shooting kills endangered species.
If Zero is reelected, they are going to close down public lands for shooting. That will include Forest Service and BLM lands. This PR campaign is the start of that effort.
The alternative plan to ‘Fast & Furious’?
EPA back door approach to g bullet control.
Hey epa,,,,F you
Plus they'll glow in the dark so they'll be pretty at night.
It is the Condor’s job to adapt to its environment. If its environment includes things it might eat that are toxic, it should learn not to eat those things.
More agenda driven junk science to take away your bullets.
Pray for America
I say BS.
My dog could eat a piece of cheese and drop the embedded medicine pill on the floor every time.
Vultures and birds of prey rip the flesh away from the carcass. The likelihood of ingesting a bullet is about zero.
The whole issue of waterfowl ingesting lead is another bogus claim.
Probably more condors are killed by windmills than lead poisoning anyway.
I know nothing about Condors but I do know that their cousin the Turkey Buzzard DO kill baby calves. They come for the after birth and then peck the eyes out of the calves when they are only a few minutes old. I am willing to bet that Condors do the same thing.
It looks like Bull, because it is bull.
Eating lead in the form of a bullet would not be that poisonous I would not think. I wound think it would go though a condor rather quickly!!! Unless he was eating it coming out of the barrel of a rifle!!
They have to get by those windmills before they even have to worry about eating bullets!!!
I don’t see how this affects me. I don’t eat condors.
outdoor ping
Antifreeze does a number on condors too.....
