From: FEDERAL PARKS & RECREATION, VOLUME 28 NUMBER 17, AUGUST 27, 2010
Conservationists and their allies petitioned EPA earlier this month to ban the use of lead in hunting ammunition and fishing gear. EPA has banned the use of lead shot in the hunting of migratory birds for the last 19 years. The American Bird Conservancy and its allies want EPA to bar the use of lead in all hunting. The petitioners said that 10 million to 20 million birds and other animals are killed each year by ingesting lead shot. The petition to EPA is at: PETITION (http://www.abcbirds.org/conservationissues/threats/Final%20TSCA%20lead%20ban%20petition%208-3-10.pdf)
