Well, you'll be glad to hear that Denmark outlawed lead shot for hunting about 20 years ago. For exactly that reason. If you read through my comments in this thread, I have never said lead shot spread around in nature, particularly in wetlands, isn't bad for birds, only that I don't believe...

DDT and Mercury were the two factors ( Along with frigging hunters, of course) that contributed most to the Grey Sea Eagle going extinct here. Not lead. Dead pigs got them back in fine form, we now have almost 200 pairs:) The problem is that both DDT and Mercury is stored in body fat and...

Being a logger, I mostly make my living killing trees, and use a lead shot throw bag, too. No hope for me, I guess.

That was the point I was trying to make. I wasn't really advocating an " apres moi , le deluge" attitude.

With 3 kids you have certainly done your part to hasten the planets demise. Overpopulation is a bigger threat than most of the stuff you named. I never said I didn't care, I simply accused you of trying to score a VERY cheap point with your advert.

Absolutely, and most of that is from leaded gasoline. But that doesn't change the fact that lead shot from burst throw weights are a lot less than a drop in that sea.

And those birds get poisoned by eaten the shot in burst open throw bags? Pretty farfetched, if you ask me.

Of course lead shot was one of the main factors for Golden and Grey Sea eagle going extinct in Denmark. But that was because they were shot by hunters. I somehow don't think that is the meaning behind the advertising, because steel shot would do the job, too.

Waterfowl and partridges/quail etc ingest it, when did you last see a golden eagle walk around on the ground picking up lead shot for use in it's gizzard .

And that affect birds of prey how?

How did the birds of prey get into it. Did somebody whack a golden eagle with a traditional throw bag?

Somebody puts a bottle of good whisky in mine every x-mas. Just my way of thanking the mailman for taking the trouble ( and breaking the rules) to drive down and leaving packages in my garage instead of taking everything that is too big to fit in the box back to the post office for me to go...

Did the mail ogre eat that as well as the Hitchhiker?---

Yes, absolutely. Monday I'll have to call the postal customs office and ask them how the heck I'm supposed to be able to run a busines, when they won't release my goods, even though I'm a licenced importer. Same thing happened when Jay sent the ninja shoes. That is and was always the problem...

:D One for each of us seemed only fair.

Or the 3 hitchhikers of mine that have been stuck in customs for a week now, due to a screwup by our wonderful mailservice. Let me repeat: Don't send it regular mail!!!
