Milking camels might really take off!
Before you know it everyone will be ripping out half their cubicles so the camels will fit in (still be sand beds of course) raising the parlour roof and importing breeding stock from the Middle East.
Just hope the Animal Rights lot don't realise that camels are not native to Britain.

And Farage & Co will complain about more immigration from the Middle East
(Well, where else are you going to find a decent camel milker?)

Camels milk I think is one of the lowest risk dairy products regarding potential allergic reactions. We looked into buying some for our son who’s intolerant to milk as a first step to try and see if he could overcome this but it’s really expensive…….and I’m Scottish.

But nobody actually eats the lead. You feel it between your teeth when chewing and spit it out. But hard steel between your teeth is far less forgiving than soft lead, there goes another filling ! Ouch !
is not good to have lead sprayed around in the enviroment either , kills swans , picked up by waterfowl,waders etc.
its archaic and should be outlawed.
there's no lead or steel allowed to be left in my lamb i make sure of that.

Lead is not allowed for shooting ducks or geese, over SSSIs or on the foreshore. So there is very little opportunity for lead to fall where ducks and geese can pick it up. The vast majority of lead picked up by them is from before the ban.
Where is lead mined from ? Out of the ground, where it falls to when shot.
Yes lead is toxic, but this needs to be kept in perspective. So is arsenic and warfarin, but used at the right way are also medicines.

Do coarse fishers still use lead weights?
its not acceptable for lead to be deliberately allowed in the food chain, full stop.
different matter if you shoot stuff for yourself , thats up to you.

Bet there are banks along watercourses, and edges of coarse fishing ponds that are as contaminated with lead pellets from fishing as former clay pigeon shooting ranges are with shot.
