I think people scare from things they watch as compared to the things which happens under earth beyond their observation.
Oh ok .. Parde mein rahne do , parda na uthao ..
Seriously, The Parsi Tower of Silence where the dead are laid to rest is surrounded by acres of uninhabited park land where entry is highly restricted. Even airplanes are not allowed to enter airspace above the Tower. Nobody is forcing people to see them.
It is our prejudice which horrifies/repulses us at the image of vultures pecking away at the dead bodies. I can as easily imagine creepy crawlies wriggling through empty eye sockets. Just calling spade a spade, sorry if I offend anybody.
Personally, I would prefer to donate my body organs rather than becoming wormfood or roast on a spit. But, that's just my personal preference.

Parda jo uth gaya to bhed khul jaega :)
I do agree with you, but its upon the level of imagination which differs from person to person
I said them poor bcz of two reasons,
first reason, mainy poor kyun kaha koi bhi Sahib-e-Iman yeh baat jan sakta hy, har baat kehna zarori nahi samjhna zarori hy
second reason, they don’t perform funeral ritual of their loved ones in proper way ( proper kia wahsiana treeqy sy kerty hain ), if they are really a wealthy people then why they don’t spend money on the funeral ritual of their loved ones, what does it mean to leave the body of their loved ones as a food for vultures and birds, Is this make any sense?
I do respect your point view, but IMO its more important to care for alive than dead one and I’m sure that Parsis are more philanthropist than any community of sub-continent. Besides, as far as I know, they are not allowed to touch dead bodies in their religion.
