Ban Lead Shot, Ban Cars

"Traces of lead found in Wis. venison
DNR offers tips to keep meat free of poison" Traces of lead found in Wis. venison | greenbaypressgazette.com | Green Bay Press-Gazette

MADISON — A state inspection of approximately 200 packages of ground venison turned up traces of lead in about 4 percent of the samples, according to a Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources spokesman."Any level of lead is considered harmful," said Sean Strom, DNR wildlife toxicologist.
"There really is no safe level of lead. That's what makes this issue so hard to grasp."


If you can't ban guns, then ban the bullets. I bet Peta has it's hand in this.

As a result, North Dakota pulled hunter-donated venison from its food pantries, causing other states — including Wisconsin and Minnesota — to conduct examinations of venison for traces of le


Those evil hunters , giving free meat to food pantries with tainted meat, poisoning people, evil!

And then the poor eagles.
"In Wisconsin, we found lead poisoning in eagles increased with the onset of the hunting season," Strom said. "We examined 583 dead eagles from 2000 to 2007 and found about 15 percent of the deaths were due to lead poisoning."

Eagles readily dine on the remains of hunter-killed deer and other animals that die in road-side collisions. Strom said the leading cause of eagle deaths "is being hit by cars" as they scavenge on road kills.


There you go, another reason to ban cars. They kill most eagles, where is the outrage. Those poor eagles. Who would of thought.

Ban the cars!

Oh Brother!
