Thankfully, for the unlucky yet lucky vulture, the shot pellets didn&#8217;t hit any vital organs, nor did they cause injuries that could make the bird unreleasable. However, as the team discovered by further testing, these were lead shot pellets. The laboratory quantification of lead confirmed the bird&#8217;s high exposure to this heavy metal, which corresponded to subclinical intoxication caused by some of the pellets in his body. When lead is absorbed, it can affect the entire organism, damaging general health as well as reproductive and mental capacities.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/image-33.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15460\" width=\"1022\" height=\"1129\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/image-33.jpg 670w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/image-33-272x300.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1022px) 100vw, 1022px\" \/><figcaption>Griffon Vulture responding to treatment and looking better \u00a9 Samuel Infante\/ CERAS<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The team had to act fast to save the bird&#8217;s life, but they faced another hurdle. CERAS provided the necessary fluids and vitamins to help the bird recover. Still, they also needed calcium disodium EDTA, a lead chelating agent used to treat such poisonings, but there was a problem as it is not available in Portugal. They reached out to us here at the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/es\/\">Vulture Conservation Foundation (VCF)<\/a>, asking if we could provide this medication, which we did. Now, months after the hard work and constant care by the team at CERAS, the Griffon Vulture regained his&nbsp;strength and made a full recovery!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Release<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This male Griffon Vulture was baptized Tiroteo to symbolize his survival from the shooting.

We are working together with many partners&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/es\/research-into-the-lead-contamination-of-wild-vultures\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">towards a gradual and consensual elimination of lead ammunition from vulture habitats<\/a>.

More information on what is currently being done as well as VCF&#8217;s future goals regarding minimizing this threat can be found in this&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/es\/prevent-poisoning-leave-lead-ammunition-to-history\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although everything turned out in the end, it is unacceptable that a protected species was illegally shot. When such cases occur, thorough investigations should take place to identify and prosecute the criminal(s) responsible to help deter similar instances from occurring in the future! This case also highlighted the danger lead poisoning poses to vultures and the urgent need to tackle this threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mailchi.mp\/09db0b150093\/vcf_newsletter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sign up to\u00a0the VCF&#8217;s newsletter<\/a>\u00a0to stay tuned with Europe&#8217;s vulture species!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/image-1-24.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15463\" width=\"327\" height=\"327\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/image-1-24.jpg 220w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/image-1-24-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 327px) 100vw, 327px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"349\" src=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/1614698508-1.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"15464\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/1614698508-1.png\" data-link=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/?attachment_id=15464\" class=\"wp-image-15464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/1614698508-1.png 1000w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/1614698508-1-300x105.png 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/1614698508-1-768x268.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"397\" height=\"127\" src=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/1614698508.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"15465\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/1614698508.png\" data-link=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/?attachment_id=15465\" class=\"wp-image-15465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/1614698508.png 397w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/1614698508-300x96.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 397px) 100vw, 397px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A juvenile Griffon Vulture found weak in Portugal experienced a troubling incident early on in life.
