We have balls of steel!

What about ammunition ..full stop?

Or better still....

easy fix use steel shot! every 12 gauge shell has a plastic wad, it will not wear your barrel

Better to stop at all!!

It’s illegal to hunt with lead shot in America, I wasn’t aware other countries hadn’t done the same. Seems like common sense.

Is that all?

We need sustainable, carbon-neutral and environmentally-conscious hunting above all else.

You guys still use lead? Holy fck, you're far behind! /Sweden

or they could stop murdering animals for 'fun'

Now that is most sensible. The sheer amount of lead being scattered on our fields today is massive

Apart from when hunting politicians?

Just ban shooting.

How about NOW?!

Thank god for that, I'm sick and tired of animals shot in the head getting lead poisoning.
