ROURKELA: Even as the scare of
Ranikhet Disease (RD) gained ground with death of crows being reported from
Bonai and Sundargarh on Wednesday, oblivious of the health risks, a fringe
population in Rourkela city are merrily feasting on dead crows, both for the
palate and to get rid of some ailments.
A daily-wage earner Dayal Badaik of
Azad Basti at Sector 20 recently found three dead crows and took them home for a
family feast. Unaware of the RD virus causing widespread death of crows,
Badaik on Thursday said he found the crows floundering on the ground and soon
they died. Badaik said the meat had a gamy smell and
flavour.
...
Mysterious death of crows has been unusually high for the
past fortnight around the Rourkela House localities, but the incident remained
unnoticed for lack of awareness. A garbage lifter of an NGO, Dilip Bag said he
has disposed of 30 to 40 dead crows.
