The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court by the Center for Biological Diversity, Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility and the hunters group Project Gutpile. It comes after the EPA denied their petition to ban lead ammunition and lead fishing tackle, which the groups say kills 10 million to 20 million birds and other animals a year by lead poisoning.

Many birds and deer die from lead poisoning each hunting season. It's undisputed. There are entire threads on this forum dedicated to honoring these fallen heroes of our dinner plates.

Lead is definitely *not* something you want your kids to be drinking. How soluble is it in water? Is there a problem?
