Euthanized animals should be incinerated or properly buried. Horses in particular are often left exposed to scavengers. It's pretty common in the rural areas that they're left out in the open. Some birds die immediately after eating the meat, though others fly for miles first. Then they get dopey and die in vehicle collisions, predator attacks, drowning or in falls from perches "while sedated by the drug." They also feed contaminated meat to nestling birds. Secondary poisoning often is unreported and is not a rare situation by any means. A variety of birds and scavenging mammals are susceptible to the drugged carcasses, and some domestic dogs have died from eating the tainted flesh. In addition, zoos that accidentally fed the carcasses to captive animals have documented the deaths of tigers, cougars and lions. Accidental poisonings have been confirmed in many states across the country. Thank you for the great info. Euthanized animals should be incinerated or properly buried.
