[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1651010, member: 9308"] Lasiter NAILS it. We can't have lead in our hunting bullets because (make up whatever "progressive" reason works for you today.) But they can put up wind farms that chop to death thousands of birds every year because, well, it was an idea promoted by people with the 'right' ideology. [URL]https://www.audubon.org/news/will-wind-turbines-ever-be-safe-birds[/URL] Excerpt: [B][I]"One of the most notorious wind farms—Altamont Pass Wind Farm in northern California—is a lesson in how poor siting can hurt birds. The farm, which straddles a windswept mountain pass, is also in the midst of a major avian migration route, and has been responsible for [U]tens of thousands[/U] of birds’ deaths since its inception in the 1960s."[/I][/B] So, we (the State of California) care about wildlife, but only the wildlife killed by HUNTERS. Wildlife killed by wind farms can go suck it (apparently.) Consider this also: [B][I]"Despite the California Department of Fish & Wildlife’s acknowledgment that 99% of hunters are complying with the lead ammunition ban in the “condor zone” since the law took effect, [U]the rate of condor lead poisoning and mortality actually increased since 2007[/U]! This failure to reduce condor blood-lead levels, poisoning and mortality suggests that lead ammunition used for hunting was not the source of lead poisoning of condors."[/I][/B] [/QUOTE]
