Vier Seeadler mit Insektengift Mevinphos vergiftet - WWF setzt eine Belohnung in Höhe von 5.000 Euro für Hinweise aus, die zur Überführung der Täter führen

January 27th 2011

At least four White-tailed Eagles have been poisoned last year in a region in Northern Germany. Three birds have been found at the edge of a copse west of Gothendorf, one between the villages Güster and Fitzen, NABU* reported on January 27th 2011. It turned out that the eagles were poisoned with Mevinphos. This insecticide is banned in the EU since 2007, in Germany since 1990.

62.Three White-tailed Eagles died of lead poisoning

Germany, 2010/2011

Two birds died of lead poisoning shortly after they were found near the the villages of Bork and Freyenstein, state of Brandenburg, at the beginning of February. Two other poisoning cases are documented for September and December 2010. One of these birds is cachectic but still alive. The real number of poisoned eagles is probably higher as not all birds are found.

The scavenging Eagles get poisoned if they feed on carrion which contains particles of lead ammunition. This happens if animals, wounded by hunters, escape and die later somewhere in the fields. It happens also, especially in the winter, if hunters leave the guts of killed animals in the hunting grounds. As one result of the acute or cronically poisoning many birds are going blind and die of starvation. In Germany, it´s the most common cause of death in White-tailed Eagles.

According to “Märkische Allgemeine”, about one gram lead has been found in the stomach of one of the eagles which died recently. “This would have been enaugh to send ten eagles to kingdom come”, said the ornithologist Jürgen Kaatz.

Edit: Another lead poisoning case, Germany, March 2011

According to SVZ.de the White-tailed Eagle was exhausted and unable to fly when he was found near Groß Molzahn (Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania) at the end of February. The bird was brought to the veterinry hospital in Berlin, where it was diagnosed with lead poisoning. Because of this and an older bacteria infected wound the vet had to put the eagle down now.

67. The probably best known White-tailed Eagle pair of Lower Saxony breeds again. Germany, 2011

Seeadler am Steinhuder Meer brüten wieder

Summary: An eagle couple built in 2009 a nest in a dead poplar tree at Lake Steinhude (Lower Saxony, Germany) within view of a well frequented linear walk. They raised up one young successfully at this exposed place. In 2010 shortly before the breeding season began the tree with the big nest fell over. Thus the pair didn´t breed in this year, but started to build up a new nest 30 metres away.

The days either side of easter, when a lot of tourists visited the area, environmentalists kept a strict watch to prevent disturbances. For the public a coin operated binocular was installed at the walk. This observation point is located about 400 metres from the nest, and the eagles and their offspring can be watched very well from this place. The birds tolerate their numerous visitors, and the happenings in the nest are are an important visitor attraction at the lake.

Erstmalig stagniert der Seeadler-Bestand im Norden: Bleimunition der Jäger gefährdet die Vögel - und immer wieder verenden Tiere an Giftködern

As in 2010, 67 occupied White-tailed Eagle's territories have been recorded; 51 pairs bred successful, 86 young eagles fledged.

Three White-tailed Eagles were found poisoned by Mevinphos in this region in January and April 2011. According to Thomas Neumann, WWF, animal poisoning cases increase. (Click here to read more about the Mevinphos cases; article 138) http://www.looduskalender.ee/forum/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=233&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=140) But lead poisoning, caused by the use of lead ammunition, still remains the major cause of death.

71.The ongoing debate about hunting with lead ammunition is apparently finished. Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Germany, September 2011

"The ongoing debate about hunting with lead ammunition is apparently finished. As Mecklenburg-Western Pomeranian agriculture minister, Till Backhaus (SPD) disclosed, hunters in the state's subordinate shoots from now on can do without lead-based bullets. With this Backhaus took back a decree of 2008."

„Die anhaltende Debatte um das Jagen mit bleihaltiger Munition ist offenbar beendet. Wie Mecklenburg-Vorpommerns Landwirtschaftsminister, Till Backhaus (SPD), mitteilte, können Jäger von nun an in den dem Land unterstehenden Revieren auf bleihaltige Geschosse verzichten. Backhaus nahm damit einen Erlass von 2008 zurück.“

72.Pro's and Con's of using lead bullets. Germany, 2011

Jagdmunition: Bleihaltig oder nicht?

„Die Deutsche Versuchs- und Prüfanstalt für Jagd- und Sportwaffen (DEVA) untersuchte in den vergangenen 15 Monaten das Ablenkverhalten von bleihaltigen und bleifreien Büchsengeschossen, wenn diese auf Hindernisse wie Bäume oder Sträucher treffen. Dabei geht es um die Sicherheit von Jagdbeteiligten einerseits und um Anliegen des Naturschutzes andererseits. (...) Der Gutachter Dr. Beat Kneubuehl kommt zu dem Schluss: Das Abprallverhalten von bleifreien Büchsengeschossen im Vergleich zu bleihaltigen ist ausgesprochen ähnlich. (...) Aufgrund der Untersuchungen beurteilt Dr. Beat Kneubuehl die Gefährdung, die von bleifreien und bleihaltigen Büchsengeschossen ausgeht, als vergleichbar.“

74.Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR), Germany, recommends children, pregnant women
and women wishing to become pregnant to abstain from eating game meat killed with lead bullets, September 2011

BfR empfiehlt Kindern, Schwangeren, und Frauen mit Kinderwunsch auf den Verzehr von mit Bleimunition erlegtem Wild zu verzichten

Wildfleisch kann durch bleihaltige Munitionsreste stark belastet sein. Da die Bleiaufnahme über andere Lebensmittel in Deutschland schon relativ hoch ist, reicht der regelmäßige Verzehr von mit Bleimunition geschossenem Wildbret aus, die Gesundheit von Verbraucherinnen und Verbrauchern zu gefährden. „Ein erhöhtes Risiko besteht bei Verbrauchergruppen, die wöchentlich Wild verzehren, insbesondere in Jägerhaushalten“, sagt BfR-Präsident Professor Dr. Dr. Andreas Hensel. „Besonders gefährdet sind Ungeborene und Kinder bis sieben Jahre, bei denen bereits eine geringe Bleiaufnahme zu Gesundheitsschäden führen kann.“ Deshalb sollten kleine Kinder, Schwangere und Frauen mit Kinderwunsch möglichst kein mit Bleimunition erlegtes Wild essen.
