Could you elaborate on the clay pigeons and hogs thing?

It's probably not quite the elaboration for which you are looking, but
it's what I've got:

If you're looking for the "pharmacology" of it, no, I cannot, but I'd
suspect that Google would be able to provide info - maybe look for an
MSDS or something. If you're simply looking for confirmation that many
(all??? - all I know about I believe to be and will treat as unsafe)
clays are not safe for hogs, pigs, etc., look at a box, check with
Google, etc. While I have no proof to offer, I've been told such from a
number of diverse sources - IIRC, it's something in the binder/binding
agent, but ??? Could it be false info? Yes, but I'm not only unwilling
to take any pointless chances, I'm perfectly willing to spread such info
- again being unwilling to take pointless chances - until a major,
reputable manufacturer puts in writing that such is false info and that
they guarantee their clays as safe for whatever animal life. Since
the whole issue fits in with my thoughts on picking yer **** up - or at
least be careful and making as little mess as possible - doubting the
info was never worth the bother.

Various coal tar derivatives used in the manufacture of clay pigeons are
toxic to swine.....and to other wild and domestic animals:

Probably didn't help much,

Nope, not a bit.

sorry,

No, you're not.
