Dog Massacre with Pesticide for Theft: Methomyl Poisoning
Öz: In this case report, acute methomyl poisoning in dogs is described by pathological and toxicological findings for the first time in Turkey. Fiveof the thirty stray dogs that were found dead within 1-2 days after eating the foodstuffs in an industrial area in Konya were necropsied. Grossly,undigested pieces of chicken meat with a mild insecticidal smell in stomach of all dogs were found and toxicological analysis by GC-MSrevealed toxic levels of methomyl in the stomach contents (15.7-17.8 ppm) and, intestines, livers and kidneys (1.2-2.9 ppm) also. In addition,histopathologically degenerative and necrotic changes were observed in liver, brain, lung, kidneys and gastrointestinal system mucosa.Postmortem and histopathological examinations and toxicological analyses revealed that deaths were related to methomyl poisoning andit has been subsequently learned from the police officers and printed media that this poison had been deliberately infected to dog food forthe purpose of theft committed in the industrial area. Publishing these intentional poisoning events, we have wanted to draw attention tothat more serious measures and statutory regulations should be taken by governments about animal rights.
Anahtar Kelime: Hırsızlık İçin Tarım İlacıyla Köpek Katliamı: Metomil Zehirlenmesi
Öz: Bu olgu sunumunda, Türkiye’de ilk kez köpeklerde akut metomil zehirlenmesi patolojik ve toksikolojik bulgularıyla tanımlanmıştır. Konya’daki bir sanayi bölgesinde, yemlerini yedikten sonraki 1-2 gün içerisinde ölü olarak bulunan 30 adet sokak köpeğinden 5 tanesine nekropsi yapılmıştır. Nekropside köpeklerin midelerinde hafif insektisit kokusu içeren sindirilmemiş tavuk parçalarına rastlanılmış olup, GC-MS cihazıyla yapılan toksikolojik analiz sonucu mide içeriğinde (15,7-17.8 ppm) ve ayrıca bağırsaklar, karaciğer ve böbreklerde (1.2-2.9 ppm) toksik düzeyde metomil tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca histopatolojik olarak karaciğer, beyin, akciğer, kalp, böbrek ve gastrointestinal sistem mukozalarında dejeneratif değişikler gözlenmiştir. Postmortem ve histopatolojik bulgular ile toksikolojik analizler neticesinde ölümlerin metomil zehirlenmesine bağlı olarak şekillendiği ortaya konulmuş olup, daha sonra adli makamlar ile yazılı basından alınan bilgilerden bu zehirin köpek yiyeceklerine bölgede gerçekleştirilen hırsızlık amacıyla kasten bulaştırıldığı öğrenilmiştir. Bu kasıtlı zehirlenme vakası ile, hükümetler tarafından hayvan hakları konusunda daha ciddi ve yasal önlemlerin alınması gerektiğine dikkat çekilmek istenilmiştir.
