Arturo Chavez, director of Municipal Ecology, said he recently had received the complaint from the locals, but today just go to the site to inspect it to determine the causes. Every year, thousands of migratory birds arrive from the United States and Canada in search of better climatic conditions that enable them to fulfill their reproductive cycle, and are set levees and dams in the state, including the dam El Coyote. Here, for two weeks dead birds began to appear in different species so widespread concern among locals. Cruz Aguirre, a resident of the town and who daily through the dam to go to work their lands that are adjacent to the dam, said to have been more than 2000 carcasses of dead birds that have themselves buried for locals prevent the spread of diseases.
In a tour conducted by mail at the periphery of the water trap board, he observed over 100 thousand dead birds only in an area of no more than one kilometer. Javier Arenas Salvador García urged the intervention of municipal, state and federal environmental authorities to stop the killing of birds that meet a long journey from other countries. Although the species most affected are ducks, he said that there are also other birds that die in the waters of the dam El Coyote as blackbirds, herons, Mexican triguero, idiot and ladle, smaller species. He recalled that in 2005 filed a similar contingency, “Civil Protection came from Guanajuato and took tons of ducks and dead birds were filled sacks and buried near here to stop an outbreak of botulism.”
He said the cause pollution carried by the Turbio River from the industrial areas of Leon and San Francisco del Rincon, who joined the download of drains by its passage in the municipalities of Manuel Doblado and Cuerámaro generate this and other problems environmental. For now the villagers hope that soon launch an investigation into this matter to stop the indiscriminate killing of birds, one of the most polluted rivers in the country, according to studies.
