Default Height of Infamy

I recently had to stop my son in law and friends from skeet shooting on my
property
They bought the targets from Walmart because it was cheap.

Marked all over the box was
Toxic To Animals


If my senility is not worse than I think it is, boxes of clay birds
said that many years ago, before we ever heard of Walmart. The blame
for that should be placed on the manufacturers, not Walmart.

The PA Game Commission has a shooting range near here, where lots of
people break gazillions of clay birds (most of them when they hit the
ground after being missed). That range is in teh center of a deer and
turkey hunting area.

It appears that wild animals, and probably dogs, cats, and birds, have
no interest in consuming the clay birds, which have all the appetizing
qualities of a hunk of mud.

Seems to me I've heard that hogs will eat them, but not many hogs
reside where people shoot targets.

All this is not intended to defend Walmart. But if you really want to
get mad, get mad at Big Pharma, which has been gouging all of us
severely for many years. Far worse than the oil companies.
