Vultures Dine on Domestic French

[delldude]

Tree hugging envirowonks go mad in Europe....Force evolution changes in Vultures......

A campaign against Griffon vultures is gathering pace in France after it was revealed that the carrion eaters had devoured the body of a 52-year-old woman who fell to her death in the Pyrenees.
Major Didier Pericou of the gendarmerie said the woman had fallen down a 300-metre slope while taking a short cut walking with two friends.
"There were only bones, clothes and shoes left," he told The Times.
"They took 45 to 50 minutes to eat the body."

French farmers are now demanding the right to shoot the protected birds after attacks on sheep and cows.
The birds no longer have their diet of carcasses because European health and safety regulations now force breeders to burn dead animals.
The Pyrenees population of Griffon vultures has apparently been affected by an EC ruling that due to danger of BSE transmission, no dead animals must be left on the fields.

Over the past few months, there have been 42 claims for compensation from farmers who say they have had livestock taken by the birds.
The vultures, which have evolved to eat carrion and not tackle live prey, may have changed their habits due to starvation.

I think this is a story padded with lies to find a cause to rid the landscape of Griffon vultures. A carcass is fair game, but when you have a farmer claiming they killed and devoured a cow is far-fetched. Apparently, these idiots think that because they have to burn dead animals the vultures are starving and evolving to attack live prey. BULL$#!T! Before man came along, the birds had no problem finding carrion. There are still other wild animals that will eventually die. The problem may have been created because the Frenchy animal lovers use to purposely throw out dead animals for the vulture. In the world of birds of prey, if there is no food, the birds limit their breeding and nesting habits. The snowy owl may have none or one baby when the lemmings are scares, but up to a dozen when they are abundant. As far as the tourist, well the person didn't survive and the birds are quicker than the rescue workers.
