The issue with birds involves the crop.
Lead masquerades as grit and is used to grind food particles. Birds don't have teeth ya' know.
It's still bullshit of course, but the mental picture of a bird filling its crop with lead particles found in gut piles {as if there are any...} is enough to sway the legislators and even sane and sober voters.
I swear I think Western Culture is ready to utterly and completely collapse...
I think its the duch you are thinking of, they swollow stones into the mussle stummach to help digest and grind the food. As the are one of the few birds with an strong enough acidus stumach fluid they do suffer from it, that is if they take the pellets together with the stones from the buttom of a lake.
So banning lead shots over shallow water makes sense, as they did in sweden, and here almost none complaines was made over it as it makes sense and we like to ceep our game as healthy as possible.
The lead free bullet is just stupit and i would love to see the proof with the eagle involved.
