[QUOTE="M1A1ABRAMS, post: 2838407, member: 123811"] The value of the lead in concentrates of ore mined in 2021 was an estimated $750 million, 21% more than that in 2020. Nearly all lead concentrate production has been exported since the last primary lead refinery closed in 2013. Exactly why were the refineries closed ? Were people dying of lead poisoning that worked there ? Funny one would have thought that would be all over the news at the time. It is possible it slid under the radar or I just don't recall. But I sure would have thought every employee there would be dead by now. And who wrote it for wikipedia ? College professors won't even let their students use wiki as a source. Over 100 years of lead used as ammo. And we are just now learning the bad effects it has on wildlife or shall I say scavengers. I wonder what impact these scavengers had on the eco system ? We used to have an abundance of small game in my area growing up. We no longer have any pheasant to hunt. But yet the fish & game will sell you a pheasant tag. lol Rabbits yes if you want to hunt someones yard (safezone) or junkyard. Seems it's their only chance at survival. Eagles Red tailed hawks, owls have had a large impact on game in my area. More than lead. I would like to see these studies that showed lead caused the demise of our small game. I don't lay all the blame on the birds. Farming & housing has had a large impact also. Farming machinery has gotten faster. Not giving game a chance to get out of the way. But yet I don't hear anyone trying to slow (farming) tractors or machinery down. I know of 6 fawns dead due to bailing hay just this past month. That is on 2 farms. And one runs a old slow JD.
