Anti-Lead Petition Rejected By Fish and Wildlife

In a surprise to many, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service recently rebuffed demands from a series of environmentalist groups to phase out the use of traditional ammunition and fishing tackle on public land.

The FWS, part of the Department of Interior, reports to Debra Haaland, a former Democrat lawmaker from New Mexico who was backed for her current position by well-known anti-hunting groups such as WildEarth Guardians and the HSUS. In 2022, the agency was presented with a 63-page petition from the Center for Biological Diversity – an activist organization that pro-gun groups have characterized as one that “fights against regulated sport hunting at nearly every opportunity” – to ban lead ammo and fishing gear on the more than 500 million acres of federal lands by 2024.
