Shotgun Cartridge Wads

[Growl]

From what I was lead (no pun intended) to believe, the issue is that the degrading plastics - wheather moisture or sunlight degrading do not break down quickly enough to be livestock safe, they still cause issues and blockages in animals (and hence hefty vets bills) until they can be produced with a rapid decomposition rate they will never be acceptable.

They fed cattle with plastic shotgun wads through their silage years ago in an experiment, when they slaughtered the beast, there was no trace of the wads in their stomachs, intestines or dung...the acid in the cows stomach had dissolved/broker down the plastic.

That's why Scotts beef tastes so good. But a lot of black smoke on the bbq.

Did the same thing work for sheep?

​They do not know, every time they entered the field wearing wellies, the sheep were GONE !!!!!
