By whatever means it happens, resolving the lead ammunition

problem once and for all would ultimately result in one less area

of tension for the shooting and conservation communities. This

could bring a range of benefits and is important given that there

are many shared conservation objectives. In summary, the lead

ammunition debate in the UK may have its basis in the natural

science of toxicology in a range of hosts but is defined by a

range of political and sociological barriers.
