Action C4 -European Canine Team Results 2012 • We found 4 types of toxic substances used • 3 are a legal agriculture agro toxic products and other is strychnine. • In 13 cases the toxic used was METHIOCARBE (Molluscicide), 2 with CARBAMATOS (Aldicarb), 3 with ORGANOFOSFATE and 1 with STRYCHNINE.

Action C4 -European Canine team Results GNR – will start to train police dogs (operational in 2014?)

European Network of Municipalities against illegal poisoning (ENMAIP) objective was achieved 100% of municipalities in the pilot area PT1 (Castelo Branco and Idanha-a-Nova )

European Network of Hunting Areas against illegal poisoning (ENMAIP)  Control of feral dogs and cats  habitat managment  complementary activities:  2 vulture feeding places for vultures objective was achieved 100% - 17 hunting areas

Successful cases in court

(ENSAIP) European Network of Stockbreeders against illegal poisoning Tecnical assistence:  Feral dogs capture  Grants requests  Promote the use of microchips  Cooperate local orgazinations ( OVIBEIRA)  17 MEMBERS ( NOV 2012)
