[QUOTE="Dry Rot, post: 7897296, member: 4505"] The public are very sensitive about lead in food. A mate of mine set up as a game dealer and got a contract with a major pet food company for rabbits. Only about a teaspoon of rabbit goes into each tin but they still sell a lot of rabbit cat and dog food. One item in the contract was a total prohibition against lead shot. All went well and my friend was making a lot of money. He not only bought dog caught rabbits off a certain mobile class but bought rabbit heads in from other game dealers and had a team skinning them. Then he bought a new machine that transformed the rabbits, bones and all, into something resembling toothpaste. He was telling me how easy it was to make money. Not only that but the new machine seemed to filter out shotgun pellets so he could buy in shot rabbits! But the pet food company found a pellet that had got through the inspection. The contract was cancelled and my friend took to drink and went bust. Sadly, a true story. Little old ladies don't like the thought of Tibbles eating lead shot and can sue if they do. [/QUOTE]
