Here it comes, lead poisoning for bears, I know what kind of lead poisoning they need, and it isn't by ingestion! http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2008/11/12/news.../20-grizzlybears.txt | ||

"JACKSON - Preliminary results of a study by a University of Montana graduate student suggest that lead bullets may be poisoning grizzly bears in the Yellowstone ecosystem." Yellowstone ecosystem????? When did they start allowing hunting within Yellowstone? | |||

I think they (slipknots) consider an area outside the park, "yellowstone ecosystem"! It is huge, I think close to 100 miles outside yellowstone. | |||

More "green" horse shit! I've probably ate more lead than most grizzlies or condores. Until I was 18 I thought lead shot was seasoning in the prairie chicken and pheasant. How much lead is in a dead deer or elk gut pile? Well, looks like we had better ban lead bullets all together, after all Californistan did, SO IT'S GOTTA BE CORRECT!  | |||

 When most deer and elk hunts are going on in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming most game animals have moved down to lower elevation while the bears are up at ten thousand feet eating army moths and looking for a place to hibernate for the winter. Funny, I have never heard our wildlife biologist say one thing about lead poision. Media propaganda(sp) bullshit. Steve | |||

I thought yeah if it was about .308 dia., weighs 180 gr and was fired about 2700 or 2800 fps. ****************************** There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor polite, nor popular -- but one must ask, "Is it right?" Martin Luther King, Jr. | |||

When one adds the number of bears killed my high vel lead every year mus be in the tens of thousands. I will bet this student is a green evio wako who thinks not a bear should die at the hands of man. How many dead bears has he looked at and how many were caused by lead poisening not the high vel kind. More | |||

This reasoning just kills me. First the greens are telling you that there are no grizzly bears. What few of them there are left need to be protected. Now they are saying that they are dying by the hundreds from lead poisoning that is happening out side the park? I believe what I read in a thread above. The lead poisoning that is killing grizzly's is traveling at 2500-3000 fps. DW | |||

And.... Hotline to report dead or ill swans available OLYMPIA - In a continuing effort to monitor trumpeter swans that have succumbed to lead poisoning, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) has re-established a hotline to report dead or ill swans in Whatcom, Skagit and Snohomish counties. People can call (360) 466-4345, ext. 266, to report dead or sick swans. Callers should be prepared to leave a message including their name and phone number, and the location and condition of the swans. The hotline is available 24 hours a day through the end of February. Some trumpeter swans in Whatcom, Skagit and Snohomish counties, and in southwestern British Columbia, each winter die from lead poisoning after ingesting lead shot in areas where they feed. Lead shot has been banned for waterfowl hunting in Washington and British Columbia for more than a decade, but biologists believe swans are likely reaching shallow underwater areas in fields and roosts where spent lead shot is still present. People who see sick or dead swans are advised not to handle or attempt to move the birds, said Jennifer Bohannon, WDFW wildlife biologist. WDFW and Puget Sound Energy employees, as well as volunteers from the Washington Waterfowl Association and the Trumpeter Swan Society, will pick up the birds, she said. The collected swans also will be among the thousands of wild birds WDFW is testing for avian influenza. Since 2001, WDFW and other agencies and organizations have been working to locate sources of toxic lead and remove it from the environment. For the third straight year, hazing crews are also working to scare swans away from Judson Lake, a source of lead poisoning on the U.S.-Canadian border in Whatcom County, Bohannon said.
