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. Lead bullets can fragment on impact and poison scavenging wildlife such as eagles and vultures, and can also pose health risks to people eating game meat. Officials are promoting alternatives like copper bullets as safer for animals and humans alike.
Why now: Officials have launched or renewed a public push ahead of hunting season to reduce lead contamination in wildlife.
