What Media Bias?

Two anti-hunting screeds on Yahoo this morning. The first one has the tired old tactic of it being lead bullets fault for the California Condor:

The pertinant bit:

"Researchers believe the condor, North America's largest flying bird, may have ingested lead paint or soil contaminated with lead bullet fragments."

So look forward to more laws in CA trying to be passed banning hunting, ammunition, et al based off of this.

The next is even funnier:

Deer hunting is bad for your heart:

So strenuous activity with a heart condition or being "Sedentary" may not be the best idea. Why did they choose hunting? Why not, say, building a deck? Oh, right. Nevermind.
