Had to read about this as the video is "unavailable" in my part of the world. Lead is a deadly toxin which should be avoided at all costs! Fish in the oceans carry this toxin as well.

Let the animals live! Don't touch them. In my opinion all stuff what you put on animals is wrong...definetely wrong. That is not science because the animals suffer of all of those things!!!
