Uh... pretty please?

What, pray tell, does the Arizona Game and Fish Department gain from refusing to outlaw lead bullets in California condor habitat? Citing increased voluntary non-lead bullet use by most hunters, the AGFD asserts that requiring such drastic measures such as a complete ban would be be like punishing hunters.

Sullivan of Game and Fish said a ban would punish hunters because non-lead ammunition costs more and isn't available in all calibers.

"It doesn't seem fair to penalize these hunters when they've already proven that they're willing to help us out with this effort," Sullivan said.

Huh? How is something that hunters are supposedly already complying with also considered a punishment? It just doesn't make sense.

Oh, right. Sense. That explains it.
