remaining 4 episodes of poisoning have been attributed to Aquila chrysaetos, Ciconia ciconia,
Milvus milvus, and Milvus migrans.
Game hunting species.
In the class "Artificial Areas", Vulpes vulpes was the species clearly more affected in poisoning
episodes, with 14 dead animals (87.50%), followed by Pica pica and Herpestes ichneumon with
6.25% of the cases each.
In class "Agricultural Areas," the Vulpes vulpes was, again, the species with the highest number
of dead animals (71 or 85.54% of total), followed by Corvus corone and Pica pica with 6 and 4
dead animals, respectively.
In class "Forested and Semi-natural Areas", the Vulpes vulpes remains the species most affected
(21 to 85.54%) followed by Herpestes ichneumon with 1 dead animal.
Home Species.
In "Artificial Areas", the Canis lupus familiaris was the species most affected with 234
(83.87%) poisoned animals, followed by Columba livea with 9.32% (26 individuals) and by
Felis silvestris catus with 19 dead animals (6.81%) and
In the "Agricultural Areas" the Canis lupus familiaris was, again, the species with the highest
number of dead animals (495 - 90%). The Columba livea was the second most affected species
(25 individuals), followed by the Felis silvestris catus with 18 cases. There is also the death of 4
Ovis aries, which corresponds to a percentage lower than 1% of the total.
In “Forested and Semi-natural Areas", only Canis lupus familiaris (308 to 98.72%) and Felis
silvestris catus (4) dead animals were noticed.
