Seprona has found
up to 27 dead animals
in the municipality of
Asturianos
(
Zamora
) in recent days, as reported by the Government Subdelegation.
The animals found so far are
22 crows, a hunting dog
and
four red kites
, an endangered species.
Its discovery is part of the investigation that will have to determine if the cause is the
use of poisoned baits
, a crime punishable in the Penal Code.
The first dead animals, some crows and the dog, appeared on February 22 and since then
Seprona
agents have worked in the area.
The search for poisoned baits has been carried out by Seprona, which uses dogs specialized in finding this type of bait.
The mountain where they have appeared is of public utility in
Entrepeñas
, a small town of fifty inhabitants belonging to Asturians, in the
northwest of the province of Zamora
.
