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.
