Electrocuted Golden Eagle
Animals injured or killed by electrical accidents are often found near power poles or below power lines. Erratic heart rhythm and paralysis in areas of the brain that control breathing and heart rate are usually the cause of death in fatal cases. Burning or charring of hair, feathers or skin is often apparent, usually at the point of contact between the animal and the energized or grounded component. Distribution of lesions depends on the areas affected (e.g., where the current entered or left the body). If an animal initially survives electrical injury they are often prone to secondary bacterial infections at the site of electrical contact, usually a limb – the function of which may be compromised.  · |
