More Mass Bird Deaths in Cockburn


The DEC are investigating mass bird deaths around the Henderson Landfill (rubbish tip). Over 200 dead birds have been found.

Unlike the previous Sea Gull deaths, a range of different bird species are affected this time.

I will update as further information becomes available.

UpDate 1: The story is reported on Perthnow

Update 2: A Pesticide (Ferithion) poisoned the birds. see ABC news.

This should come as no surprise to local communities. There has been one cover up after another, yet still no thorough investigation as to what's in the 'AIR WE BREATH'? Just what are the DEC or Health Department waiting for this time. Who are they protecting now, it's definately not communities?
