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.
Call me a skeptic, but I would think that if wildlife mortality rates were that high, we'd have other issues to worry about, like maybe extinction of certain species. There HAS to be ulterior motive at play here. IIRC, the CBD is strongly anti-hunting, and it wouldn't surprise me if PEER is, either.
