is nothing new about the illegal trafficking of birds, but this time is very close to us. In a very short time There were three seizures of birds transported by bus from the northwest of our country. These buses were stopped in our province, on National Route 34 a few miles from the city of Rosario National Gendarmerie.
kidnapped birds were delivered to the Provincial Wildlife Division which had before their final destination.
In the last two hijackings, César Giarduz Federal COA Rosario and Guillermo Pérez Jimeno veterinarian assisted in the identification of species, noticing the predominance of specimens from the province of Chaco geographical Ornit-western district, ie the the dry Chaco region and the province del Monte.
Within the group of birds seized were a large number of copies of Kings of the Forest (Pheucticus aureoventris) from the Chaco Serrano or the Yungas. We stress that the populations of this species are in sharp decline, which may be due to illegal harvesting and indiscriminate suffering long as the changes in their environments.
Other rare species in nature were Monterito Canelas (Poospiza ornata), Reinamora Large (Cyanocompsa brissonii), Corona Cachilo Chestnut (Aimophila strigiceps) Monterito Necklace (Poospiza torquata) Common Soldiers (Lophospingus pusillus).
Besides these, we also identified Pepiteros Necklace (Saltator aurantiirostris) Tangarará Commons (Euphonia chlorotic), thrushes (Turdus amaurochalinus) Fire Brasitas (Coryphospingus cucullatus), orange (Thraupis bonariensis), Celestine (Thraupis Sayaca), many Goldfinches Dorados (Sicalis flaveola) Black-headed Monterito (Poospiza melanoleuca) and pepiteros Boys (Saltatricula multicolor).
Unfortunately these birds, the vast majority of victims died from stress caused by overcrowding, lack of water and food during the period spent in the micro, the subsequent transfer to units of the Department of Wildlife and lack of resources and infrastructure to to quarantine and retrieval. That
photos of birds, animals will not fly or sing anymore-serve something. Leave us a clear message: anyone has the right to determine the fate of other lives. The capture, trafficking and sale of wild birds is an illegal activity that threatens our natural heritage.
know that the pets of wildlife is a selfish madness marked by an illegal business.
To take account of these experiences to improve the methods and measures to reintegrate or relocate these animals and do not have an ending that did not choose.
When we learn to respect the lives of others, we will grown as a species, we will have taken a step forward, we will be better, otherwise, continue to drag on two legs.
That never happens again ...
