THEAssociation for Rural Culture (ACR) underlined an important provision concerning the lead ammunition during the hunting activity, a much debated issue for some time now: "The Norwegian Parliament has decided to approve again the use of lead in hunting ammunition after the use of this material was sanctioned in 2005.
This decision was made because there was no scientific basis on the environmental sustainability of the materials used as an alternative to lead. Indeed, the use of other materials have shown that they cause unnecessary suffering to animals and they are more risky for humans, not to mention the damage that this prohibition would cause to the economic sector ”.
