Don’t mention it
Trying to talk about these ugly birds brings about the same response. Its ok to talk about saving whales and cuddly seals but Vultures? As rabies deaths reached 50,000 in India because of the loss of vultures what other epidemics might we face in the future without earths well adapted clean up crew.

I am watching this show right now and got curious about these vultures, as I am about so many other animals that are going extinct because of humans. Only humans. I don’t understand how people don’t feel an immense amount of shame every time this happens. Humans are like a disease on this planet, sadly… almost makes me want to cry.Well, I think ultimately we’ll bring about our own extinction, then the earth can resume its natural process. It’s funny that educated people can imagine the future and what direction we’re heading in- even with a few different scenarios and none of them end well, not with the attitude people have. And the ignorant ones don’t care because it will be our children or grandchildren, not us. because we actually don’t care, or believe what we’re told. It’s like the future does not exist yet so people simply don’t want to bother themselves to improve it. Like putting one’s head in the sand. That almost makes me want to cry too- (ok, I’m off my soap-box)

I’m not sure what that comment is about… but I think it is horrifying that the Cape Griffon vulture is “vulnerable” to extinction. I pray these stories will wake up more people to the fact that all things are connected. If vultures no longer exist to consume carrion then it seems disease will be more easily spread by rotting carcasses.
