Is Someone Who Plays With An Airsoft Gun In The Forrest, And Leaves The Plastic Pellets Laying Around As Bad As A Serial Killer?

[Cindy1302]

I say yes, because plastic takes thousands of years to decompose, and a lot of animals are bound to eat those pellets and die a horrible death

Thud.

[johnk]

The pellet would just pass through them

[davebro3]

Much worse than a serial killer - should be tortured then executed.....

Damn savages...

Great thinkers of our time, an occasional series.

Simple research online can answers those questions, not that I actually needed to check.

A regular airsoft pellet (non biodegradable) can take years to decompose, however it will happen and a lot quicker than a plastic bag, so I guess someone that litters is as bad as a serial killer too.

It's unlikely that they'd cause any hard to animals, even the biodegradable ones aren't likely to cause any injury.

What evidence is there that forest animals will eat plastic pellets?  And as for being as bad a a serial killer, no, can't see any airsoft kids making it into the history books alongside Harold Shipman or Ian Brady just yet.

Cindy; Any non-vegetarian or non-vegan could be classed as a serial killer according to your reasoning.

I think you are being over-sensitive.

[andy-hughes]

I don't think you can realistically compare thoughtless disposal of plastic with the murder to several human beings.

I appreciate that it's your view Cindy, but I think you'll find yourself in the minority on here.

Don't get het up about litter, - pick it up. I am the unofficial litter collector of my village; when I go out with my dog (3 times a day) I always have a disposable surgical glove and a folded paper bag in my pocket.

It's became almost a hobby, and when we come back home, it's nice to think that the world's just a tiny bit better than when we went out. 😊

If you are that worried about it, take a walk with a large bag and pick them all up and put them in a bin. Sorted.  Next question.
