Video of Birds being poisoned in Bunyala
Category: Uncategorized | Date: Oct 06 2009 | By: paula
We have just received this video tape of birds being collected from the rice scheme in Bunyala after being poisoned allegedly with Furadan. The Kenyan government officials of the Pesticide Products Control Board have confirmed that THEY WILL NOT INVESTIGATE ANY OF OUR REPORTS which they state they believe we have fabricated.
Please watch the video and let us know if you think we could fabricate this.
Carbofuran is the same pesticide that is believed to be the cause of the massive decline in Africa’s lions. It is also being used in fishing in Lake Victoria. Reports of these incidents can be found on our poisoning blog http://stopwildlifepoisoning.wildlifedirect.org
Although pesticide fishing and catching of birds for human consumption represents a public health hazard, the PCPB will not investigate. We will continue to furnish the government and other with the evidence.
Hopefully it won’t take a human death for them to wake up.

I can’t watch this video at work, but all I can say is the PPCB are nuts. Why is the heck would Wildlife Direct FABRICATE this? Idiots!!!!!

Stupid answer offcurse, I guess what they wanted to say is that they have urgent things to deal with than saving a few birds. Like most things until people will get sick maybe even worse nothing will be done. This chemicals are easy to get, handle and achive the target if you combine it with low costs you have the best killing device a hunter needs.

This looks like risky business to poison a wild bird with a drug and so eat it yourself! What about the rice, is it still edible?? We MUST STOP this taka-taka-garbage to enter the African nature once and for all!
