Problem:Atop Marion County's landfill Friday, thousands of birds circled over trucks spreading fresh loads of garbage. Among those birds, a handful of bald eagles were spotted. 
  
 It was earlier this week county solid waste workers found two bald eagles lying on the side of the landfill. They were immediately treated by the Animis Foundation. 
  
 Animal caretakers with Animis say the eagles were very lethargic and needed oxygen and fluids to flush out their systems. One of the eagles later died, the other is recovering. Tests are still being done at the Audubon's Birds of Prey Center in Maitland where the animals were taken. But caretakers at Animis say they’ve done tests of their own before, and always come back with the same answer. 
  
 “They showed symptoms of pentobarbital poisoning which we have seen previously with other eagles we have picked up from the same place," Animis caretaker Danielle Ball said. 
  
 That poison is what’s given to animals when they are euthanized. 
  
 At the foot of the landfill sits the Marion County Animal Shelter. 
  
 “The belief is the animals that are being brought to the landfill are not being given the proper burials or handled in the right way, which is leading to the eagles having access to them,” fellow Animis caretaker Mark Quadrozzi said. 
  
 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services and Florida Fish and Wildlife investigators were at the landfill Friday trying to see if that's the case. 
  
 Solid Waste Director Mike Sims said whenever they are notified they are getting a delivery of animals, they dig a hole at least 3 feet down into the landfill, exceeding state standards of 2 feet. 
  
 Sims said the animals are then quickly buried by other trash in accordance with state statute in part to protect birds of prey. 
  
 “We’re as much concerned about this and we want to get to the bottom of this if it is our facility. So we are going to cooperate with any agency that is going to come and investigate,” said Sims. 
  
 The investigation was prompted by an outpouring on social media after the Animis Foundation publicized their beliefs about the cause of the eagles' illness. 
  
 “I feel like everybody working together we can solve this problem and make Marion County a safe place for our national bird,” Quadrozzi said. 
  
 Investigators say any findings could be turned over to the U.S. Department of Justice. 
  
 Marion County Animal Services points out the animals they euthanize account for less than a third of the animals that go in the landfill each year. 
  
 Solid Waste said its also investigating whether businesses and residents are properly notifying landfill operators they are bringing in animals to be buried.

 Ocala, Florida —The bald eagle—the symbol of our nation—which is protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, faces a new threat in Marion County today. 
  
 Michelle Whitfield, head of the wildlife department at the Animis Foundation, said bald eagles and other wildlife are being poisoned, but not how one would think. 
  
 The Animis Foundation alleges that the Marion County Animal Shelter has been recklessly dumping euthanized animals at the Marion County Baseline Landfill, which is located next to the shelter. 
  
 Whitfield said two years ago when a bald eagle was found dying at the landfill, Animis and Dr. Shannon Kennedy performed a toxicology screen on the eagle’s blood. She said the results were disturbing. Test results showed the eagle had been poisoned with pentobarbital, a drug commonly used by veterinarians to euthanize animals. 
  
 Pentobarbital is a barbiturate, which slows the activity of the brain and nervous system. 
  
 Whitfield said the eagles are eating the dead animals that have been discarded by the shelter; therefore, the pentobarbital is being passed onto the eagles. 
  
 Now, residents want to know if the animals are being discarded like trash instead of incinerated. Questions about whether or not the drug could seep into the aquifer have also been raised. 
  
 “Animis contacted authorities two years ago when we made the discovery. We were under the impression that Audubon would be testing all eagles and reporting the findings to the Florida Wildlife Service (FWS),” said Whitfield. “Yesterday, I found out that nobody has been testing the birds. All of the proper authorities were notified, but nothing has been done.” 
  
 On February 2, 2015, two additional bald eagles were found near death at the Baseline Landfill. The eagles were treated for poisoning. Once stabilized, they would be transported to the Audubon Center for Birds of Prey. This makes a total of 10 bald eagles in the past two years that has been found at the landfill. 
  
 Marion County officials released the following statement: 
  
 “This afternoon, we were made aware of citizen concerns expressed on social media and via emails regarding two distressed bald eagles found at the county landfill facility on Monday. While bird and eagle sightings are not uncommon at landfills, we don’t frequently encounter distressed wildlife at our facility. In these situations, however, addressing the animals’ well-being becomes staff’s first priority. On that day, Solid Waste immediately contacted a wildlife rehabilitator licensed by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), per FWC protocol. As of today, Solid Waste has reached out to the FWC and the rehabilitator for continued updates. The cause of the eagles’ distress is not known or confirmed by any official tests at this time.” 
  
 ### 
  
 The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation (FWC), initially, was not involved with this investigation. In fact, the FWC was not even made aware of the situation until February 4, when county officials called the FWC and began to ask questions about Animis. 
  
 In an attempt to discredit Animis, the county wanted to know if Animis was associated with FWC, which they are not. Animis is its own licensed entity; however, FWC wanted to make it clear that Animis is on FWC’s approved list of wildlife animals rescue rehabilitators. Animis frequently rescues animals for the FWC if an officer with FWC is not available. 
  
 Greg Workman, Regional Public Information Coordinator for the FWC said, “Although we are not heading up this investigation, it is a very serious matter. Bald eagles are federally protected; therefore, this case was turned over to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). Because it is federal, we felt it would be better serviced if handled by FWS.” 
  
 Rumors began to spread through social media the moment Animis posted the story on Facebook, and people quickly began to confuse FWC and FWS, which are two separate agencies. It should be clear that FWC is not the lead in the investigation and was at no point made aware of the situation until yesterday. 
  
 Gavin G. Shire, Chief of Public Affairs with FWS, said “USFWS Special Agents in Florida are conducting a preliminary inquiry with Florida Wildlife Conservation Commission investigators to address this issue.” 
  
 In a report published by FWS it states, “Each year a number of bald and golden eagles, other wildlife, and domestic dogs are intoxicated or killed after ingestion of pentobarbital residues in the tissue of exposed euthanized carcasses. Exposure of these carcasses is almost always the result of improper disposal at landfills.” 
  
 Ocala Post reached out to the Marion County Animal Shelter and asked what their procedure was for discarding euthanized animals. As always with Marion County officials, Ocala Post never received a reply. 
  
 Mara Burger, Public Information Specialist with the Department of Enviromental Protection (DEP), said, “The proper disposal of domestic animals is covered by Rule 62-701.520(4)(c), which allows disposal in Class I landfills or on the property where they died. Proper disposal is defined as “buried at least two feet below land surface and above the water table.” 
  
 The DEP has not yet responded to Ocala Post’s questions in regards to whether or not there would be an investigation against the Marion County Baseline Landfill. 
  
 Ocala Post also contacted the EPA; we are waiting on a response. 
  
 Ocala Post received a formal copy of the results from the toxicology performed on the bald eagles by Andreas Lehner, Ph.D., an Analytical Chemist with Michigan State University. The results stated, “There was a moderate amount of pentobarbital, which fits the presumed diagnosis.” 
  
 [Updated February 5, 2015, at 8:30 p.m.] 
  
 Ocala Post was notified earlier today that one of the bald eagles passed away. The other is still recovering. 
  
 Ocala Post was also contacted by several former employees of the Marion County Animals Shelter that wish to do an interview. Stay tuned for those details.

 Marion County Public Information Manager, Barbra Hernandez posted the following on Ocala Post’s Facebook page: 
  
 “We want to provide you the latest updates regarding the bald eagles located at the landfill facility on Monday. Today, we were able to speak with staff at the Audubon Center for Birds of Prey, who notified us that one of the eagles continues to recover at their facility. Unfortunately, we were saddened to learn that the other eagle did not make it. Audubon Center staff also confirmed that, as of today, no official toxicology tests have been performed. This information was also shared by Dr. Kennedy, veterinarian for the Animis Foundation, with whom we spoke today. Throughout the day, we have received several citizen inquiries regarding the burial of deceased animals at the landfill facility. We know many of you have questions about our Solid Waste and Animal Services policies for handling and properly burying deceased animals. Please know that our departments operate under strict state regulations and county guidelines. We would like to share with you additional information about our practices here: http://marioncountyfl.org/home/showdocument?id=6589.” 
  
 How does Solid Waste handle deceased animals at the landfill? 
  
 Step 1: Deceased animals are transported (whether by individual, agency or business) to the landfill’s inbound scale and reported to Solid Waste staff. Scale personnel notify the operators on the landfill. 
  
 Step 2: Operators excavate a hole at least 3 feet or more in depth, exceeding state statute requirements for a hole to be at least 2 feet in depth. 
  
 Step 3: The vehicle containing the deceased animal(s) is brought near the excavated hole for depositing. The landfill operator completes the deposit and covers with materials excavated from creating the hole. 
  
 Step 4: Operators continue to push and pack materials over the surface until end of work day. 
  
 Step 5: On closing, operators cover all areas on which they worked with a 6-inch dirt cover or a tarp, both methods authorized by the FDEP permit. 
  
 When a pet owner brings their pet in to be euthanized, the pet owner would have the choice of taking the body of the animal home, or allow the animal to be discarded with the trash at the landfill.

Solution:
Over the past two years, wildlife rehabilitators in Florida have found 10 struggling bald eagles—some of whom have died—at a landfill near an animal shelter. And they tell the Ocala Post they can explain the phenomenon: The eagles, a rep for the Animis Foundation suggests, have been eating euthanized animals left in the landfill, and the chemicals used in euthanasia have been transferred to the birds. Their allegations come after a dying eagle tested two years ago was found to have pentobarbital in its system; pentobarbital is often used to euthanize animals. Marion County, which runs the shelter, has defended itself against the allegations and says its solid waste team buries euthanized animals in accordance with state law, offering a fact sheet explaining its processes. Addressing the discovery of two eagles on February 2, county officials say as soon as they were made aware of the issue, they contacted a state-licensed wildlife rehabilitator (Animis is not licensed by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, but is on the FWC's list of approved rehabilitators). The officials note that "the cause of the eagles’ distress is not known or confirmed by any official tests at this time," but tests are being done and Animis claims the eagles showed "symptoms of pentobarbital poisoning," News 13 reports. One of those eagles died, while the other is still being treated, the Post notes. The US Fish and Wildlife Service says that such situations arise every year, with both wildlife and pets affected by eating "exposed euthanized carcasses." "Exposure of these carcasses is almost always the result of improper disposal at landfills," FWS adds. (A cutting-edge solar technology may be to blame for birds igniting in midair over California last year.)
