Guest guest Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/01/31/vulture_recommendations/ Scientists formulate Indian vulture rescue plan By Lester Haines Published Tuesday 31st January 2006 11:11 GMT Scientists have found a solution to the vulture crisis in India where large numbers of the birds are being wiped out by eating cattle carcasses contaminated with the anti-inflamatory drug diclofenac. As previously reported (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/01/11/vulture_threat/), the Oriental white-backed vulture is particularly affected. A report by the British Royal Society for the Protection of Birds said it had " never seen such a rapid decline of any species " - caused entirely by toxic carrion.
