Plaintiffs Want Ban on Lead Ammo





Claiming the use of lead ammunition by hunters in California violates the "Endangered Species Act," anti-hunting and anti-gun groups have filed suit against the California Fish and Game Commission and the state Department of Fish and Game for failing to enact a ban, the Los Angeles Times reports. The lawsuit, filed by the Center for Biological Diversity, Natural Resources Defense Council and others, alleges lead ammo is harming the state's endangered condors. Though surveys show that hunters, the foremost leaders in conservation, are willing to adopt voluntary measures that would interrupt potential exposure pathways between spent ammunition and condors, anti-hunting advocates are unwilling to recognize these measures. Like others intent on ending hunting, these groups also are attempting to scare wildlife managers with unfounded claims of health threats to hunters. NSSF opposes a lead ban for a number of reasons -- especially the fact that science is inconclusive on how condors interact with hunting ammunition -- and supports further scientific research.
