During, one and a half hours long conversation, we informed our Italian colleague about the situation in Hungary regarding raptor poisoning cases and we could compare the situation between the two countries. As we found out, poisoning occurs in Italy for different reasons. Local landowners use poisoned baits against the dogs of illegal truffle-seekers, stray dogs, foxes, wolves and bears that threaten their livestock.
