- Lead in birds (2011, background): “California condors ingest lead fragments from ammunition in carcasses of animals or offal left in the field (Church et al. 2006, Hunt et al. 2006, Cade 2007), and considerable effort is devoted to monitoring and attempts to reduce lead exposure (Hall et al. 2007, Parish et al. 2007, Sullivan et al.…”
- Meat from wild ungulates: ensuring quality and hygiene of an increasing resource (2010, background): “[Ital J Anim Sci vol.9:e61, 2010] [page 323] 2005; Hunt et al., 2006), which may produce extremely high values in the muscle area surrounding the bullet pathway (Doborowolska and Melosik, 2008).”
- Exposure of California Condors to Lead From Spent Ammunition (2007, background): “…( Jansen et al. 1986, Kramer and Redig 1997, Fry 2003, GarciaFernandez et al. 2005, Fisher et al. 2006, Johnson et al. 2007) and with clear implications for the health of people who eat game meat obtained by using lead-based ammunition (Dewailly et al. 2001, Levesque et al. 2003, Hunt et al. 2006).”
- Widening the problem of lead poisoning to a South-American top scavenger: Lead concentrations in feathers of wild Andean condors (2011, background): “When lead shots enter the body of the hunted animal, they spread in small fragments that are easily ingested and dissolved, contributing to the sublethal, but nonetheless dangerous, concentrations of lead in wildlife (Hunt et al., 2006; Knopper et al., 2006).”
- Status of the California Condor (Gymnogyps californianus) and Efforts to Achieve Its Recovery (2010, background): “5), when lead rifle bullets shatter into hundreds of fragments as they enter an animal (Hunt et al. 2006).”
