EU to ban use of lead shot by wetland bird hunters
27 November, 2020
Lead shot is to be banned from all wetlands in the European Union, in a decision that is expected to pave the way for phasing out all toxic ammunition.
The ban will ensure that any wildfowl or waterbirds are shot with non-toxic steel ammunition after scientific studies found that 1 million waterbirds are killed by lead poisoning each year.
We are asking, why not to ban completely wetland bird hunting?
