If the giant slothful california condor is such a weak specimen in the animal world that it gets sicky from eating a lead bullet than it is HIGH TIME they are GONE! From what I have been taught, read heard and seen in documented study... lead is only harmful in the dissolved form. Globs of lead are passed thru the system and pooped out. Now you may have some ingestion from stomach acids but heck I can't tell you the number of split shot I opened and closed with my teeth. On the lower life form ladder rung, junior has a Boa constrictor that has eaten ONLY birds shot with shot gun loads for a few years and it is a very healthy vibrant colored critter...
