Remember, fishing tackle kills wildlife . Every time I visit the park I pick up discarded fishing line and lead . I mean every time in the same spots . Please take your old fishing line with you when you leave . Lead sinkers causes lead poisoning . A painful struggle ensues when an animal becomes entangled in fishing line or netting. The victims of this entanglement typically suffer feather damage and lacerations from the constricting line as they fight to escape. Entangled animals are often entrapped and are unable to move, find food, or escape from predators. For bird parents, this also affects the survival of their reliant chicks. This deadly entrapment often ultimately leads to exhaustion, starvation, and dehydration if the animal is unable to free itself.
