Abstract

Na privatnom zemljištu pronađene su dvije lešine strogo zaštićenih ptica grabljivica
vrste obični škanjac (Buteo buteo) u čijoj je neposrednoj blizini nađena treća lešina domaće
kokoši čija je površina bila posuta sitnim plavkastim granulama. Na temelju nalaza s mjesta
događaja postavljena je sumnje o namjernom trovanju životinja. Državno odvjetništvo izdaje
nalog za provedbu razudbe i uzorkovanje predmetnih lešina radi provođenja toksikološkog
vještačenja sa svrhom otkrivanja uzroka uginuća ptica te ustanovljenja je li materija pronađena
na lešini domaće kokoši otrov koji je prouzrokovao uginuće običnih škanjaca. U obje lešine
običnog škanjca nađene patoanatomske i patohistološke promjene koje odgovaraju nalazu kod
životinja otrovanih karbofuranom. Toksikološkim analizama utvrđena je prisutnost
karbofurana u svim dostavljenim uzorcima izuzev uzorka želudca ženke običnog škanjca. Na
temelju provedenih analiza utvrđen je uzrok smrti ptica grabljivica kao posljedica trovanja
uzrokovanog karbofuranom koji je bio izložen posredstvom lešine kokoši koja je poslužila kao
mamac. Ovime je dokazana uzročno posljedična veza između izvora trovanja i uginuća dviju
jedinki vrste obični škanjac.

Abstract (english)

Two carcasses of strictly protected birds of prey of the common buzzard (Buteo buteo)
were found on private land. In their immediate vicinity, a third carcass of a domestic chicken
was found, the surface of which was sprinkled with small bluish granules. Based on the findings
from the scene, a suspicion of intentional poisoning of animals was established. The Municipal
State Attorney's Office issues an order for the execution of an autopsy and sampling of the
carcasses in question for the purpose of conducting a toxicological examination with the
purpose of discovering the cause of the death of the birds and establishing whether the substance
found on the carcass of a domestic hen was the poison that caused the death of common
buzzards. Pathoanatomical and pathohistological changes were found in both carcasses of
common buzzards, which correspond to the findings in animals poisoned with carbofuran.
Toxicological analysis revealed the presence of carbofuran in all submitted samples, except for
the sample of the stomach of a female common buzzard. Based on the conducted analyses, the
cause of death of common buzzards was determined as a result of carbofuran poisoning, which
was exposed through the chicken carcass that served as bait. This proves the cause-and-effect
relationship between the source of poisoning and the death of two individuals of common
buzzards.
