Dead by lead poisoning.
Just another way for the EPA to collect your ammo.
NYS already limits lead sinkers. Birds won't eat bigger sinkers and I believe it's the split shots that are illegal.
Maybe we should give the Center for Biological Diversity ALL of our lead!
Bump!
Just another sideshow at the midway. While the people who are trying to put a stop to the madness (i.e. us) are forced to submit to various “reality checks.”
‘Let them eat Lead’
EPA denies petition calling for lead ammunition ban
Bogus Bull$h!t
Do birds really eat lead shot?
Project Gutpile? Not exactly Pheasants Forever, Ruffed Grouse Society, Quail Unlimited or Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation.
Just humoring them, wouldn’t these groups at some point, have to prove that said lead is causing damage to wildlife? As I understand lead poisoning, one has to ingest a significant amount, and unless animals and fish are eating bullets and split shots, how can they be harmed?
Maybe I’ll get in on that lost fishing tackle part. There’s a place where I fish on the Occoquan River in Virginia that absolutely swallows lead jigs and shad darts. Probably lost 200-300 lbs over the years.
ABSOLUTE, PATENT BULLSH1T.
These delusional twits need to get a life!!! Go picket an abortion clinic or a puppy mill, A$$HOLES
EPA is out of control. We need to find a way to either get them under control or eliminate them.
I’m open to suggestions, how we can achieve the right purpose of dealing with environmental contamination without an EPA that thinks it should be king of the universe.
This is a case of, “who watches the watchers”.
Dead by lead poisoning.
That’s the left, get a judge to force an agenda on the people.
What they fail to mention is that the lead poisoning most of these birds and animals die from is 1 ounce of #6 shot and 150 grn 30 caliber. Lead poisoning in birds and animals ranks in with the DDT scare, it is mostly BS and designed to keep us from buying ammo.
Get rid of the EPA all together. NOTHING they do that has any value to public safety can't be taken over by other federal law enforcement agencies. Another redundant alphabet soup agency that is ever trying to expand their role but in reality has none. They spend a large share of their resources “selling themselves” to the public while in reality all they do is bog those that want to be productive down with red tape and forms that need filed in triplicate. A horrible tooth to tail ratio and generating millions (literally) of files they could be rolled up inside another agency with 1/2 their size, able to accomplish the same task. But it sounds good to have an EPA, doesn't it? Sort of like when the war on drugs was a big deal and the DEA was created. Sounds good!
Under the guise of helping wildlife, the Center for Biological Diversity is actually an anti-four wheel drive, hunting and fishing organization. They are doing everything they can to close dirt roads and kill the sports of hunting and fishing in the U.S.A.
“Center for Biological Diversity, Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility and the hunters group Project Gutpile”
Center for Biological Diversity? SOunds so..... politically correct.
Project Gutpile??? They should investigate COngress.
I try to be as helpful as possible in these sorts of situations.
All anyone has to do is knock on my door, tell me they are from the EPA (or some environmental group), and that they want my lead ammunition and I will give them some of it.
