Beside the antifreeze statement, my favorite part of the original study, was the numbers.
....."30,000 carcases and gut piles, containing lead fragments......in a 6 month study of the Condor nesting/roosting area".
And college educated, public officials, paid with my tax dollars, bought into this! How embarrassing!
In the first place, I doubt that there are 30,000 animals, of any sort, in the study area, much less 30,000 dead ones WITH lead fragments.
Do the simple math......that's 167 dead animals, or gut piles.....with lead fragments... found EVERY DAY for 180 days!
It dosen't take a nuclear scientist to see who is actually shooting in these areas either.......(depending on how "racist" you want to believe I am, these people ain't LEAVIN' dead animals ANYWHERE!...Condors included!)
The really sad part is the fact that these "researchers" knew full well, that they could pass this bogus crap on to the DFG and Sacramento and there would be NO ONE to dispute the ludicrous numbers.
Enjoy it while it lasts boys, because its going fast and there is no one on our side.
We're sorta like the Condor.....there is just no place for us in California any more. Trouble is, more people like the Condors than like the hunters.
