How bizarre it may sound but in Bombay India, Parsi comunity faced this serious problem… As they dont bury or cremate their deads neither they use any other means of burial. They take them to the specific place and leave them out in open for vultures to eat these dead bodies slowly and gradually.
But the problem was that vulture population decreased … and there were no vultures left in bombay due to industrialization and deforestation in nearby areas…
I dont know what is the situation now or if they have found an alternative.
Regardless of thier notorious lifestyle and feeding habits Vultures are very important for environment. And some cultures
**Channel surfers shouldn’t be surprised when they come across a station this fall featuring programming on mourning, cemeteries and obituaries 24 hours a day. German morticians plan a TV channel whose focus is on dying. **
It might not sound much apealing but commercially it should be quite a viable idea. There would be so many parties willing to adverstise. But the question, will the tv channel attract viewers
How amazing is this co-incidence. I was just reading an article on vultures today. And I find out that they do not carry food to their young ones like other birds. They eat and regurgitate it to feed them. And sometimes they over-eat and cant fly and get killed by humans or other animals. And thats how they were reducing in numbers in some places.
