I think this is the real problem. Modern sanitation doesn’t depend on vultures. Having carcass dumps near population centers is going to cause problems even with vultures.
- mattmaroon 2y agoThe overall methodology is highly suspect but “vultures are good” is probably accurate.
- moffkalast 2y ago"Vultures are great when there are piles of rotting dead animals laying in the street" would be even more accurate.
