Lead remnants originating from many activities like hunting, which are laid in fields as well as woodlands near intense households, amount to huge tones of lead to human surroundings all over the world. This extreme pollution is not repaired by putting to hold its (lead) use for only those who use for hunting, but general usage of the same.
These remnants disintegrate at a slow rate. During this time, they can be consumed from the soil by birds, cattle/goats and even human beings causing lethal/fatal poisoning. Pellets from these remnants often corrode thus causing soil contamination as well as contaminating surface water wells and boreholes as they may at times exceed permissible levels according to water treatment and water consumption standards (Thomas V 1997).
Plants only stand to be affected by these only when planted on acid-infected soils with high levels of contaminations. In such sites, earthworms consume the remains (lead) compounds which are then transferred into higher consumers in the food chain. This is so due to the fact that, so many living things consume on worms. These include the chickens which are further consumed by human beings.
As an ethical consideration to counter the effects of lead remnants, non-toxic replacements from steel are available for all to use in the entire globe. They are effective for all types activities including of hunting, which is the primary cause for the accumulations. Many nations, those in Africa included, slowly do not require them as at now, despite the evident awareness of the dangers of lead remnants pollution (Thomas V 1997).
The Essay on Ethics Of Hunting
Hunting, as defined by Websters Dictionary, is the act of one that hunts, specifically in the pursuit of game. The major controversy about hunting is if it is ethical. Hunting ethics is a term that defines the true standards, conduct, and moral, judgement of a sportsman. I believe that hunting is ethical and should continue to be legal throughout the United States. As long as the hunters hunt ...
Mostly, this is occasioned by those who use it and some international organizations which oppose the use of the replacements. The over emphasis by government authorities to proof scientifically the existence of such dangers, instead of taking active preventative actions is also a main cause of this.
