Answer
Why are conservationists asking for the hunting area near Santanyí to be closed?
They want the area closed temporarily so investigators can examine the site properly and prevent more animals from being harmed. A closure can also reduce the chance that other wildlife or pets encounter the bait while the case is being examined. On Mallorca, that kind of precaution is often seen as a necessary first step when poisoning is suspected.
