David BASC Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 Dear All, There was a significant threat to the continued use of lead shot - we have been working with FACE and others to try to stop the pressure from those who oppose shooting from forcing through a world wide ban - and its GOOD NEWS - see here: IUCN rejects propoal to ban lead ammunition worldwide - https://basc.org.uk/blog/press-releases/latest-news/iucn-rejects-propoal-to-ban-lead-ammunition-worldwide/ David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TONY R Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 Great news and thanks yet again to the tireless work of BASC in being able to assist with halting this threat to our sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panoma1 Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 Good news indeed David! However we should be under no misapprehension....this was an attack by anti's on shooting, pure and simple, it had nothing whatsoever to do with protecting human health or animal welfare. Be interesting if BASC published a list of UK organisations who conspired together to propose this ban to the IUCN.......I wager we could name most of em?
