Wildlife Officials Urge Hunters to Switch to Non-Lead Ammunition
Original: Fish & Wildlife officials encourage use of non-lead ammunition
Fish and Wildlife officials are encouraging hunters to use non-lead ammunition, citing the risks lead shot and bullets pose to wildlife, particularly scavenging birds that can ingest fragments left in carcasses. The appeal promotes alternatives such as copper bullets as a way for hunters to reduce environmental contamination while continuing traditional hunting practices.
Why now: Officials are publicly promoting non-lead ammunition as hunting seasons draw attention to lead's impact on wildlife.
