19 eagles are dead after gorging themselves in a truck full of fish waste. The eagles became to sioled to fly off after picking through the slimy mess. Surviving eagles were cleaned up with soap and water. Apparently, somebody forgot to cover up the top of the truck, which is normal procedure.

My heart goes out to these eagles. Here they were flying around in search of food when they happened to stumble upon the motherload of fish guts. They excitedly flew in to feast with other eagles. Then terror struck as some of them struggled to fly away with a content belly but could not. Other eagles watched their kin slowly die in that truck of horrors. What a sad, sad accident.
The eagles in the photo are the pair at the local zoo, taken last summer.

Ohhh what an ugly story! How sad….
Those poor birds….
It is good that at least the natives will be able to use the feathers of the dead birds, but you sure hope they will take proper precautions to stop this from happening in the future…
19 !!!!
This is so terrible!
Poor little fellows, imagined their shock seeing their own slowing dying one by one.
I just hope that none of things will happen again.This is so sad.
