The Health and Safety Executive has revealed that 47 animals were poisoned by pesticides in the UK in the first quarter of 2011. Of the cases, 23 were classified as either ?abuse? or ?misuse?, and 26 involved birds of prey, mostly buzzards. A number of the cases are still under investigation by police, including two cases involving birds of prey in south Wales.
