Can someone please verify that lead shot is still commonly used
in ammunition for hunting.....?? I was under the impression that there
were controls on lead shot for duck hunting but not upland hunting.
I don't have strong feelings about hunting of doves either way. What rankles
me is the continued use of any lead shot at all....anywhere, anytime under
any circumstances at all.
I don't care about hunter arguments about lead shot not having the "killing
power" of steel shot.
As far as I'm concerned, hunting/sport dissemination of lead shot over the
countryside in the name of "sport" is completely unjustified, broadscale
lead contamination of the environment with no redeeming benefit at all.
