Stan, ever seen an eagle cough pellet?
Ever seen gravel, very very worn gravel in a gizzard?
What is a lead shot pellet more similar too, a feather or gravel?
You guys can read the biology literature as well as anyone else. Look it up, because nothing that anyone tells you here that you don't want to hear is going to change your preformed minds. There is a lot of data out there on all of these aspects - if you really want to know.
We just want to know what your end game is Brent. Eagles on occasion will ingest lead (from a variety of sources) and possibly die, no one is disputing that. However, those deaths are statistically insignificant for the population as a whole, and are inconsequential to the population growth of the species.
If you are a calling for an across the board lead ban, just say so. At least we would then know what your ultimate motive is.
