Caralluma and Ecologists in Action in the Region of Murcia on Sunday held a day of protest by more than poor management by the Autonomous Community of Murcia is doing the ashes of the Sierra de Mojantes, in the town of Caravaca de Cross.
This situation has caused the number of pairs of vultures Mojantes colony has been reduced in recent years from 21 to 8 breeding pairs today, representing a decline of more than fifty percent.
About thirty members of both ecological groups visited the midden Mojantes and unfurled a banner on his door that read: "The management of the dunghill leaves much to be desired." Thereby drawing attention of the state of abandonment is, of lack of food that are taking the vultures and the lack of planning and timing of the inputs that have been made so far, giving the fact that huge amounts are being timely that these birds can not delete followed by long periods, up to one full year as occurred last 2009, without any input.
This causes the putrefaction of many of the bodies and does not prevent the starvation of the vultures.
Moreover, given the fact that recently installed a chain and padlock on the driveway and in front of the fence from the ashes to prevent some local farmers could leave this place dead animals themselves, despite it was mainly horses, for which there is no health risk whatsoever declared.
That is, the regional administration or feed the vultures and let private citizens do.
The removal of carcasses by birds necrophagous carries a great benefit to the whole society, because it avoids having to be processed and burned, which is economically very expensive, environmentally disastrous and is funded by 75% funded public.
The vultures do the work for free, in situ, without expending energy and most likely more sanitary guarantees that the current legal protocol.
Caralluma and Ecologists in Action called on the regional administration to effectively manage the trough of vultures, allowing farmers under veterinary supervision in the area can use this place to take animals that die on their farms.
The day of protest from environmental organizations both ended with a visit to the shady side of the Sierra de Mojantes and garbage collection in an area near the mountains.
