Lead-free promise – we ask the NGDA

August 30, 2022

We wrote to the National Game Dealers Association over 10 days ago but have not yet had a response to our enquiry:

Wild Justice understood that NGDA were going to go lead-free from 1 July 2022 and that game supplied by your members would only have been shot with non-toxic ammunition. Now we are led to understand that decision has been reversed. Please let us know your current position.

Are Red Grouse shot this season and sold through NGDA members killed with non-toxic ammunition?
Will partridges (Grey and Red-legged) shot from 1 September 2022 be lead-free or not?
How about Pheasants from the 2022 shooting season?

We’ll let you know whether we get a reply, and what it says, but if you are interested in this subject and would like to enquire yourselves then try here Contact Us | National Game Dealers Association

Wild Justice is also writing to supermarkets and others asking them about their plans to sell lead-free or lead-heavy game meat this autumn. Watch this space.
