Why was the ‘hunting’ Lobby appeased with a voluntary elimination of lead in shot? Even now, years after they promised to eliminate it for killing waterfowl it is still in common use. And as for its use on land…

Ban it. Ban its sale, use and import - they will never do this voluntarily.

Virginia man dies after bear shot in tree falls on him

While I regret that the Bear was killed, I take a certain grim satisfaction in it’s Revenge in death.

I don’t think that the word ‘accident’ is appropriate though. Let me see, there was culpable homicide and death by misadventure to come before we got anywhere near an accident.
