Stop Amazon.com from selling lead bullets and fishing tackle that kills wildlife
The Issue
Toxic lead bullets and fishing tackle sicken and kill millions of animals each year. Microscopic fragments from lead bullets scatter throughout hunter’s prey, remaining in meat consumed by hunters and their families, fed to their children who are especially vulnerable, and given to friends and donated to food banks. Wildlife rehabilitation centers are filled with birds and animals poisoned and dying from ingesting lead. Our national bird, the bald eagle, is one of the most affected birds, as are other birds of prey and vultures that scavenge on lead filled guts hunters leave behind. While some states have banned lead bullets and fishing tackle these products can still be purchased on Amazon. com. Please ask Amazon.com to stop selling lead bullets and fishing tackle, Amazon.com must stand up for the environment and end the toxic danger posed by lead products and consuming them. Our children and animals need our voice, please sign this petition and end lead bullets and fishing tackle sales on Amazon.com. Thank you
