Hunters often remove the guts of deer carcasses to make them lighter to carry, and the discarded guts-which often contain many bullet fragments-are eaten by wildlife, which then also suffer the harmful effects of consuming lead.Gamescom 2022’s Opening Night Live presentation was hosted by The Game Awards‘ Geoff Keighley and was a 2-hour showcase presentation of the updates, trailers and announcements for 31 upcoming games, some new entertainment and new technologies. Other game including partridge, grouse and rabbit is also mainly shot using lead shotgun pellets, and wild deer are shot using lead bullets. The UK Health & Safety Executive is currently preparing a case for banning the use of lead ammunition for hunting in the UK, and the European Chemicals Agency is doing the same for Europe. But there is very little evidence of a voluntary switch away from lead being made. Steel shotgun pellets are a practical alternative to lead, and their use in place of lead for hunting is recommended by UK shooting organizations. This is in contrast with strict maximum levels for lead in many other foods including meat from cattle, sheep, pigs and poultry, and shellfish harvested from the wild. There are no UK or EU regulations about the maximum allowable levels of lead in human food from wild-shot game animals. But the lead fragments we found in pheasant carcasses were so tiny and widely distributed that it's very unlikely they would be detected and removed," said Green.

"It's rare for people eating game meat to accidentally eat a whole lead shot, because they're cautious about damaging their teeth and know to check for lead shotgun pellets in the meat. Three lead shots were removed from this pheasant meat, on sale in a UK butchers' shop. The results are published today in the journal PLOS ONE.

The lead pieces were widely distributed within the birds' tissues and some of the small fragments were over 50mm from the nearest lead shot pellet. The smallest fragments were 0.07mm wide-at the limit of resolution for the CT scanner for specimens of this size-and the researchers say it is likely that even smaller fragments were also present. The meat was then dissolved, allowing the larger fragments to be extracted and analyzed further to confirm they were lead.Īn average of 3.5 lead pellets and 39 lead fragments of less than 1mm wide were detected per pheasant. The researchers used a high-resolution CT (computerized tomography) scanner to locate the lead fragments in the pheasant meat in three dimensions, and measure their size and weight. Virtually all pheasants shot in the UK for human consumption are killed using lead shot.

This shows a whole shotgun pellet, a small metal fragment and a probable bone fragment. It is known to lower IQ in young children, and affect the neurological development of unborn babies. Lead accumulates in the body over time and can cause long-term harm, including increased risk of cardiovascular disease and kidney damage in adults.

Lead is toxic to humans when absorbed by the body-there is no known safe level of exposure. The researchers found up to 10mg of tiny lead shards per pheasant, all of which were much too small to be detected by eye or by touch. They found small lead fragments embedded in every pheasant, in addition to lead shotgun pellets in seven of them. Researchers examined the carcasses of eight wild-shot common pheasants, killed on a farmland shoot using lead shotgun ammunition and on sale in a UK butcher's shop. The fragments become lodged deep within the meat. Lead fragments often form when lead shotgun pellets hit the bodies of gamebirds. A study has found that pheasants killed by lead shot contain many fragments of lead too small to detect by eye or touch, and too distant from the shot to be removed without throwing away a large proportion of otherwise useable meat.
