Majority of bald eagles have rat poison in their bodies, a study finds

Read More Although the exact pathways of exposure remain unclear, eagles are likely exposed through their predatory and scavenging activities, said study author Dr. Mark Ruder, assistant professor at the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine s Southeastern Cooperative Wildlife Disease Study. In the United States, rat poison is commonly used when trying to eliminate rats and mice, Ruder said. The poison can last a long time in a host s body, he added. The poison causes blood clots, so if a bird showed evidence of internal bleeding with no other trauma on its body, the researchers classified it as death by rat poison. Of the birds examined, 4% died from rat poison.
