  abstract = {{H}uman consumption of animal meat killed by lead ammunition has been reported as a risk factor for elevated blood lead levels. {H}owever, little is known about how meat killed by lead ammunition is hunted, prepared, sold, and consumed. {W}e explored the process from hunting to consumption within communities in {B}enin from the perspective of preventive measures. {W}e conducted 38 semi-structured interviews with hunters (n = 9) and sellers (n = 8) of bushmeat and families (n = 21) as consumers of bushmeat killed by lead ammunition. {D}ata were transcribed, translated, and coded for analysis. {W}e conducted content analysis to identify and describe key themes and processes from hunting to consumption. {M}any hunters (n = 7/9) used lead-based ammunition. {A}fter the meat is hunted, market sellers often buy it directly from the hunters. {A}mongst the hunters and sellers, few (n = 4/17) acknowledged removing the meat impacted by lead shot prior to sale. {M}any families (n = 15/21) mentioned consumption of the hunted bushmeat. {T}he meat is cooked before sharing with children. {M}any families (n = 19/21) mentioned they look for the remains of the lead shot or remove the meat impacted by the shot. {T}he finding suggests that hunting, sale, and consumption of bushmeat killed by lead ammunition are well-known practices in {A}llada, {B}enin. {T}he bushmeat often hunted illegally with lead shot is sold in the markets and eventually consumed by families who attempt to clean the meat impacted by the lead shot before cooking it.},
