Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.

The birds, especially wild mallard ducks, have appeared dead in the Urumea River, in Donostia-San Sebastián, in the Martutene area. In addition, some 50 eels have also appeared dead on 27 August. On 21 August, the Basque environmental organization Eguzki denounced the occurrence of dead aquatic birds.

The environmental organization points out that on August 27 the cars of the Municipal Guard and the technicians of Diputación and URA were personaged. It also calls for research and clarification as to why birds and fish die in an area where animals have been killed.
