Lead hunting ammunition American condor threat of extinction
American environmentalists complained that fragments of lead bullets in carcasses continue to kill a "despairing" number of one of the most endangered birds of extinction in the country, the condor-California.
The activists claim that the use of lead-based ammunition is prohibited in public areas of the United States, trawler photos as national parks. trawler photos Considered one of the largest birds in the USA, this species is now considered trawler photos by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN, its acronym in English) as critically endangered.
Of these, 81 died or disappeared, but experts believe that at least 38 members of the group died from ingestion of lead fragments found in remains of dead prey for hunters.
Carnivore, the condor usually feed on carcasses of animals run over on roads or died of natural causes, remains discarded by hunters or killed by themselves arrested.
Concrete actions - Activists as Jeff Miller, Center trawler photos for Biological Diversity, asking ban ammunition. Although the Department of Fish and Game Arizona distribute unleaded trawler photos ammunition for hunters, a small number continue to use those containing the toxic metal.
As a result, every year about half of the condors-California national park require treatment to remove metal from your blood. "It is critical that we take action to remove trawler photos (lead) ammunition and request less toxic alternatives," says Sandy Bahr of the Sierra Club.
