I have a hard time believing that enough animals are carrying around lead in them, to be this big of a problem.
Evidently studies prove me wrong, but it sure seems like a stretch.
They are being dishonest.
Condors do not eat that duck that took only 5 pellets of #8 and fell 600 yards away.
If it doesn’t weigh 40lbs and mammal, they are not interested.
It’s real. I have a friend who works with the Condors. The lead is a real issue. I’m not a huge condor fan (sometimes animals go extinct and I can handle it) but apparently eating animals with lead bullets does poison the big birds.
