So, which upland SSSIs on blanket bogs ought to have ‘Use of lead shot’ as an OLD? Any ideas?

Surely if it’s thought to be necessary for one upland SSSI that contains blanket bog to have using lead shot as an OLD, all the SSSIs with blanket bog should have using lead shot as an OLD.
Where is the emoji for rhetorical questions when you need one?
Mark, I don’t doubt that sprinkling bits of poisonous metal around the countryside (and into wildlife and the food chain) is a bad idea – but it would also be good to see a well argued case detailing the damage it does to the blanket bog habitat. If you’ve already done this on your blog somewhere a reference would be great! Thanks.
