[The cat has not always done it. A case of alpha-chloralose poisoning in wild birds].
Neglected hens caused annoyance at a graveyard. Following veterinary advice, the authorities used alpha-chloralose-dressed feed in an attempt to sedate the animals, thus facilitating transport to a more suited place. However, the feed was also consumed by other birds. Moreover, the dosage alpha-chloralose appeared to be too high. Hence the resulting mortality struck both the hens and the wild birds. Obviously, alpha-chloralose should not be used for these applications.
