In Israel, like in Andalucia or other parts of Europe where such campaigns are implemented seriously, the results are there to see \u2013 for 8 years, there has been no known case of vulture mortality due to poisoning in Israel \u2013 until yesterday.<\/p>\n<p> The NPA was alerted for an incident in the Golan Heights, in the north of the country \u2013 4 griffon and two black vultures (which winters in Israel in very small numbers) were found dead, together with a Golden Jackal.<\/p>\n<p> Ohad Hazofte, Israel\u00b4s vulture expert, and an avian ecologist at the NPA, suggests that this was caused by a Druze shepherd: \u201cwhile an impressive anti-poisoning campaign has been organized locally since 2007, in order to reduce the \u201cneed\u201d and motivation to poison, unfortunately some Druze shepherds were left out, though the campaign against poisoning includes the Druze high-schools, and they even won more than once the Golan Hights\u2019 Vulture Day Quiz. As a consequence,\u00a0some herds are not registered nor insured, and they may resort to this illegal and indiscriminate method\u201d, said Hazofte.<\/p>\n<p> Every year tens of thousands of vultures die across the world victims of poison, in a variety of situations and formats \u2013 ingestion of agricultural pesticides through dead animals, victims of poisoned baits laid out against predators, intoxicated with lead from hunting ammunition, and poisoned by veterinary drugs such as diclofenac \u00ad\u2013 even though the same drug has been linked to the vulture crash in the Indian subcontinent (99% decline of the Vulture population there), it is now legally available to be prescribed for livestock in Spain and Italy.<\/p>\n<p> The VCF has been working to minimize and prevent poisoning of birds, through contributing to the development of national strategies against illegal use of poison, promoting enforcement and enhanced crime prosecution, and raising people\u2019s awareness.
