Never even thought about bullets like this before. Bless the lead-free manufacturers and thank you PBS for your hopeful nature content!

This is no small change. If every hunter was to change to lead free bullets a huge difference can be achieved! Thank you for a great video!

It is super grand that some people care about our wild raptors.

A very welcome move! Extremely important subject

Yes! And lead free fishing tackle too (to save the loons and other fish eating waterfowl).

Gorgeous animals

Switch to lead free ammunition PLEASE!

You are doing gods work, love to see people caring so much about animals!

In california we are totally lead free

I am a vegetarian. And I know fishers & hunters do so much conservation work. Survival skills are so important & ethical, simply buying & consuming fish & meat is not.

Just a friendly reminder to everyone here: Human being are an animal species on this planet, and have an ecological niche to fill. Just because we’ve lost touch with our role in the food web due to industrialization, does not mean that role no longer exists. There will always need to be at least some human hunting in order to play our role in the environment. It probably needs to be more regulated, but it’s as necessary to well-being of the land as other large predators are (and they should be further re-introduced as well). In fact, removing all human hunting would just be repeating the same mistake that we’ve made in the past, removing a major predator from an environment in hopes that the other animals flourish. We’ve learned the hard way that that isn’t how it works. Everything is more complicated and interwoven than that. To put this in perspective: Humans lived on every continent during the height of the ice age. In North America, for example, we have fossil human footprints that are 23,000 years old. Large areas of land were scrubbed bare by glaciers, and everywhere else had a completely different climate. The new environment and species that emerged when the glaciers receded have only ever known a world with humans in it. Everything as we know it today has evolved alongside humans and we are a part of the balance. Just because we’ve lost part of our connection to our ecological role in modern times, that does not mean that the need for that role disappeared.

nice documentary

amazing research the impact of lead poison, wow

If we make it an us against them, a war, we all loose. We all need to try & find a middle ground. Hunters will always hunt, indigenous people need to hunt, no government will ever ban hunting. Focus on the fact that if hunters care about ecology, the environment, animal welfare etc. That is a huge win. As a vegetarian I will always respect these people. Especially when they are hunting animals that are numerous, within specific seasons & prioritise a quick clean kill. A fanatical approach to this will paint all vegetarians & vegans in a poor light.

I promise to never shoot a lead bullet ever again.

Interesting that she hunts others animal but saves others

they call themselves “hunters and conservationists” because they’re hunters that care about the impact their hunting has on the environment if you cut down a tree, but replant other trees, you’re taking what you need from the environment while also maintaining the ecosystem. the same logic applies here if you follow state regulations (don’t kill animals that are too young/too small, only hunt in certain areas, etc.) you’re hunting animals, but making sure your present actions don’t deter the animals’ future generations from surviving. you’re taking resources from the land without harming the balance of wildlife in the case of lead bullets, we’re talking about how the hunting of one animal is affecting the lives of other animals, so making the switch to copper bullets is protecting the future generations of those affected scavengers, like the golden eagle (i’m not saying i subscribe to the concept of shooting being an ethical method of killing, i’m just explaining the logic presented in the video)

To me, hunters are like cops. There are just too many few good ones. And way too many bad ones.

There is a lot of ignorance in these comments. Seems to be divided between people who just want to ignore we've known the issues with lead for years and do have data, and then people not willing to admit that things are complex and rather obviously have embraced what feels right to them rather than actually taking a step back to do the research. Nuance is a thing people.

...and no I don't eat fish/chicken. I don't eat meat when it's more convenient. My parents fed me meat, but I stopped them.I forage, & if I had to eat meat for survival I would hunt & fish. I know the basics. But as I don't need this, I build habitats. So hopefully one day there is an abundance of wildlife for all hunting animals (yep, the human is an animal) to eat.

Hard numbers and data in the presentation would be better than hyperbole and carefully worded statements.

First ❤

Hunt for food if you must. But please don’t pretend that it is sport. Sport involves a contest between two teams or individuals, who both compete on equal terms.

"in utero kids" wtf kinda language is that pbs?

plenty of angry vegans in the comments here..........just curious.....do you have any criticism for the vegan extremists who promote the idea that we should be culling all the "non vegan animals" to create a "vegan planet"? any criticism for that idea whatsoever or is it vegan solidarity all the way?

Her voice is so DAYUUUUM irritating 😅

BS... give us some numbers! I can't believe the numbers would be significant.

"Hunter and conservationist" is like saying someone is a "vegan and carnivore".

Just as the USDA has as an obligation to prop up disease ridden animal agriculture industries; National park reserves and channels such as PBS are harshly influenced by organizations that promote activities that exploit vital wildlife. No human hunting has ever saved a species from the extinction.

Abolish hunting of any kind

Raptors deserve to live but smaller less majestic birds don't #Speciesism

It's 2024, Hunting must be banned.

I'm a vegan because I am a genuine conservationalist and animal lover. Killing animals is immoral, cruel and the worst of humanity. Wildlife are powerless to human's cruelty.
