Analyzes are starting to deliver their truths. Moggly, a border collie, had died in September after a walk on the beach of Saint-Efflam, in Plestin-les-Grèves (Côtes d'Armor). After the dog's sudden death, some suspected hydrogen sulfide poisoning from the rotting green algae. The first analyzes carried out had quickly ruled out this hypothesis. Two months after the death, further toxicological analyzes made it possible to identify the probable cause of the animal's death. Moggly would have died of poison. According to

Le Télégramme

, the animal would have ingested an insecticide called carbofuran, a product banned in France since 2008.

State services have alerted local communities but for now, the mystery remains.

It is not known how and where the dog was able to swallow the substance, banned since the recommendations of the 2008 Grenelle de l'Environnement.

Le Télégramme

specifies that a study had been carried out by the National Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health Safety (ANSES) showing carbofuran among the substances most often causing poisoning. , especially in animals.

This insecticide was used by some farmers to fight against a wide variety of insects considered harmful such as borers, moths, locusts, weevils and crickets.

It has been banned since December 2008.
