Scavenging the carcases of animals shot by bullets.
Yup makes perfect sense to me! If I haul myself up to the San Gabriels and shoot a mulie, for sure I’m going to leave the carcass behind so a giant buzzard can eat the bullet.

Condors are another of the Left’s pet species, along with whales, dolphins, spotted owls, polar bears, etc.. Frankly, I couldn’t care less if every last one of them was turned into feather dusters. Really. Would any of us notice, other than from the wailing coming from the bunny-huggers?
No coincidence at all. Looks like a coordinated media rollout.
It is sad when the survival of 400 birds is more important than the freedom of the entire country. But then, it isn’t about the birds, it’s about backdoor gun control.
In the movie “Only Angels Have Wings” , Carry Grant’s fly-buddies would throw dynamite to dislodge condors
to keep the mountain pass clear,, er it ....was a movie
, but it was fun to see big stupid birds floppin .. i guess..
probably used buzzards instead now that i think about it..
Yep, that is the clear giveaway that this is politically motivated BS.
Lead poisoning is not caused by ingesting a chunk of metalic lead. That lead passes right through you. You get lead poisoning from longterm exposure to lead in the air, water, and objects you are constantly touching. I suppose it may be different for birds since they have a gizzard. maybe chunks of lead are ground up in a gizzard. But why is it birds never had a problem going extinct until now? Obviously there is something other than lead bullets causing these birds to die off.
Now you know fully well that a Condor is not capable of such identification.
But just the same, I dispute the findings of this report. It is riddled with junk science, and is agenda driven. Namely an attack on ammunition, if not firearms. Obviously, what good is a weapon if you’ve nothing to shoot through it.
There is no empirical evidence to support their assertions. How many hunters shoot something, then leave it to rot in the sun? I shoot Bambi, and I don’t get a clean shot and he runs, I will track him for as longs as is practical to find the carcass.
Carrion my arse.
This is what scientific ignorami do with the empirical sciences, which can tell you a calculated likelihood that something is true but cannot make such qualitative statements.
How the hell would anyone know that? Just more bullshit from the people who think we should all exit the planet...except them.

Birds that are shot and fall in an inaccessible area, or do not suffer enough of a shot wound to fall at once, could contribute some to the problem. Big game, very unlikely.
If Condors go extinct in the US what is the loss besides the funding that goes for their protection?
Remember, Eric Holder said “we must brainwash people against guns”, and that’s done by repeating lies and disinformation.
Planted evidence... think globull warming.

Don't forget the recent story that OSHA has started to go after gun ranges for "lead exposure".
It's saving the planet man!
“My dog could eat a piece of cheese and drop the embedded medicine pill on the floor every time.”
Ain’t that the truth! The only way we could get our dog to take his pills was to crush them up and then hide the powder inside peanut butter :)
