Hi demonwolf444.
It doesnt make commercial driven shooting in the UK look good but the excesses of some commercial shoots couldnt be portrayed in a good light.
It seems that the ban will not be driven by peer reviewed scientific study showing any detrimental effects of lead in the environment but brought about by by the perceived need to allow large commercial shoots to hopefully market their by product and allow meat to be easily processed fit for consumption in dog food.
And all the while barely scraping a profit.
All this with no anti involvement.
Perhaps we will see cans of dog food advertised with pictures of shooters holding up a brace of pheasants.
If the problem lies with commercial shoots inability to sell lead shot game then let those shoots insist on steel bismuth or tungsten shot and leave shooters who eat the game they shoot to continue using lead shot in their old guns which may be unsuitable for non lead shot.
