200+ dead seagulls found washed up in Tunquen beach, Chile

Dead Seabirds Chile
Neighbors in Tunquen, municipality of Algarrobo, were surprised to see little more than 200 seagulls dead on the beach. Now experts and officials of agricultural and livestock service (SAG) are investigating the causes of the massive death, but ruled out that it was by human intervention.
 
It’s Franklin gulls, which come from the United States but that at this time migrate to the South. Of the total, only 8 survived and are currently handled in the clinic of the University Santo Tomás in Viña del Mar. There are treated for hydration, feeding orally by probes and necessary medication…
 
The experts noted that birds are injuries in legs and wings, and that could allegedly have died as a result of any intoxication.
 
However, the NGO Animalex thinks that there was interference by third parties. “They are sufficient evidence to determine that there was a human intervention. According to the new law of responsible ownership we would be able to review this criminal complaint”, Juan Carlos Oróstica, President of the animal rights organization announced.
