Blame local farmers who violate the rules of protection the environment.
Inspectors of hunting farms of the Krasnodar Territory have already recorded several cases of mass death of birds for the current year. Guilty in this is called farmers who break the rules environmental protection in the fight against rodents in their fields.
First, the “outbreak” was immediately identified in the Timashevsky district after the new year holidays. Then more than 2,000 pigeons died owls, jays, kestrels (the genus of falcons), as well as recorded in Russian Red Book Buzzard and hares.
Many birds were migratory. Research showed that zinc phosphide is present in the blood of the dead, banned in Russia, but still used by farmers to poison protect crops from rodents.
Manufacturer obviously in order to save labor openly scattered poison-treated grain (possibly seeders) on seed squares, Yuri Semenov, chairman of the Timashevsky district hunter and fishery societies
Zinc phosphide is a very toxic poison. Sparrow is enough to peck up 10-15 processed grains to die. And after the rodents and birds of prey, jackals, foxes and wolves die. The most the terrible thing about this is that the food chain does not break off on birds and animals. Poisons may well enter the human body, causing substantial damage to health.
