I was saddened to read the news about death of 15 peacocks , found dead at a village in Nashik - Maharashtra , India . When forest officials visited the spot of death , they found 15 carcasses of Peacock. The peacock is the national bird of India. It is fully protected under the Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972. The poaching or hunting of peacocks is banned in the country. Though the killing of peacocks is prohibited in India, there have been instances, where the birds were killed using pesticide for the collection of the lovely tail feathers. |

Well.. if the cause is the pesticide mixed into grains, it is a really serious problem.
The grains can be sold in markets and people would cook and eat that without knowing.
