The use of such ammo by hunters puts about 3,000 pounds of lead into the environment annually and causes the death of 20 million birds each year from lead poisoning
Let's see. Where did lead come from? The ground. Where is it going back to when you shoot outdoors? I know. The ground!
“You have to do something to wake people up.”
Am I the only one that picks up my spent bullets when I'm done shooting?
He did. But it is for the baby loons, you don't want to hurt baby loons do you? And earthworms, earthworms don't deserve to get lead poisoning, assuming they survive being shot at...Oh, Come on now it is for the environment, You just don't understand the dangers of lead. I F***ING TOLD YOU SO!!!!!
This article is so full of BS I died laughing. The JA writing it had to spin it pretty hard to get the figures he wanted. Look at this from your link: The Prius costs an average of $3.25 per mile driven over a lifetime of 100,000 miles - the expected lifespan of the Hybrid. In a Toyota Prius bashing thread here on NES last year someone posted about a Prius still driven daily with the original batteries that had 350K miles on it. I personally know of two people who have high mileage on their Prius's {179K and 211K } and both of them have their original battery packs in them. Where this JA gets off thinking people will be stupid enough to believe Toyota makes ANY vehicle that only last 100K is beyond me.These people are ridiculous read this article on there Prius's and how they damage the environment more than a Hummer: http://www.sciforums.com/showthread.php?t=64448 . Why don't they put that to work instead of bashing hunters for using what they have used since 500 AD when the Chinese made the first firearm.
Lead (Pb) is a metal found naturally in the environment as well as in manufactured products.
we also must address the issue of di-hydrogen oxide in the environment too
we also must address the issue of di-hydrogen oxide in the environment too
Yup. That's nasty stuff......we also must address the issue of di-hydrogen oxide in the environment too
Let's see. Where did lead come from? The ground. Where is it going back to when you shoot outdoors? I know. The ground!
and if it combined with with alcohol it can cause dizziness nausea and some cases pregnancy.Dihydrogen oxide is far more dangerous than lead. Death due to accidental inhalation of DHMO, even in small quantities.
Prolonged exposure to solid DHMO causes severe tissue damage.
Excessive ingestion produces a number of unpleasant though not typically life-threatening side-effects.
DHMO is a major component of acid rain. Gaseous DHMO can cause severe burns.
20 million birds die annually.... They'd be laying all over the place.... ya, right.
