A HAWK story

The New England Wildlife Center published a red-tailed falcon in the wild wild four months after its arrival, because it included a kind of rat poison that is known as an anticoagulans.

“If these birds are exposed to these eschars, they are bleeding and bleeding much more easily with a small, small wound or encounter,” said Dr. Priya Patel, medical director of the New England Wildlife Center.

Veterinarians in the center believe that the falcon collided with a building. The bird had an extensive trauma, but X -rays came back negatively for fractures.

They tested his blood to see whether the bird had recorded the Rodenizi and the results were positive. The bird was rehabilitated for over four months.

Why this rat poison is dangerous

“When your predators are killed by them, the ecosystem throws the whack,” said Zak Mertz, CEO of the center.

Mertz said these birds were natural predators for rodents. Once she reappeared an owl after recording Rodenizi. It stayed in the center for 252 days before it was released. During this time it consumed 2,000 mice.

“Nature has built up an incredibly strong rodent control system,” said Mertz.

These blinds can also affect pets that take up an animal that the poison ate.

“This is a topic that affects every person or every voter in Massachusetts,” said Mertz.

The red -tailed Hawk was released into the wilderness by Rep. Jim Hawkins of the State of Massachusett on Friday. He is the co-sponsor of an invoice that will restrict the use of these rodents. An earlier law was proposed, but Hawkins said it was mainly for data collection, while the new invoice will inhibit use.

“It is fun to submit laws that everyone strives for,” said Hawkins. He estimated that there were about 70 other legislators ready to participate.

“There are provisions for special uses and necessities. Everything remains on the table, but limited the uses in a way that makes sense,” said Metz, Metz
