That is very sad. The product name is Furadan. It was only legal to be used in underground application. I have used it in the past, applied it properly and according to the label, and never saw any evidence of toxicity in any animal or avian life. It is a federal offense to use this product above ground.
Like so many other tools which have the capability to kill, misuse results in the tool being blamed, and not the perpetrator who misused it. Whoever improperly used the Furadan should pay the penalty, and it should be harsh.
Thanks for the link, Gil
