Creepy! Vultures Eating Live Animals in Kentucky
They'll devour slimy newborn calves, full-grown ewes and lambs alive by pecking them to death.

First the eyes, then the tongue, then every last shred of flesh.

And there isn't much defense against black vultures and turkey vultures, both of which are federally protected and cannot be killed without a permit.

The Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 covers all migratory birds, their nests and their eggs, which means that the birds can't be harmed without federal permission. Their nests can only be disrupted, as a deterrent, if there are no eggs or young in them.

But as the vultures, which are native to Kentucky, have multiplied in numbers nationally over the last two decades, they have become more of a problem for farmers. Each year, Kentucky farmers lose around $300,000 to $500,000 worth of livestock to these native vultures, according to Joe Cain, commodity division director for the Kentucky Farm Bureau.

It's not just farm animals. Small pets may be at risk too.

Magpies here in midwest will peck to death baby bunnies and squirrels.
Nature is brutal, does not care about your color, your beliefs or your pain.
It will crush you back into the dust that you are, slowly.

Freaky stuff, though. I see turkey vultures every day I go to town, big ass ugly birds. Efficient cleaners though.

Re: Creepy! Vultures Eating Live Animals in Kentucky
Stories like this are why I think hunting and humans in general are so immoral. Dying by a bullet that kills almost instantly in a way that the animal never sees coming is such a brutal way to die compared to all the other ways that same animal would die if left to nature to figure things out for itself. Even worse is an instant accidental kill by a motor vehicle.

If I was an animal I would much prefer slow starvation, suffocation by neck bite from an apex predator, neurological wasting disease, eaten while often still partially alive by wolves, slowly eaten from the inside by parasites, pecked to death by meat eating birds, eaten whole and alive by pelicans or herons, grabbed from behind and taken down by something with huge claws and teeth, injected with a paralyzing neurotoxin and then eaten alive, or any of the other much more humane ways that animals die naturally every day. Humane not because their deaths are fun, but because they don't involve nasty immoral humans in any way so nature is allowed to exist and fluorish in the most amazing, holy, and life honoring way possible.

Animals would never appreciate how amazing their natural life was if they didn't experience the worst aspects of it upon their deaths. What doesn't kill them makes them stronger right? Oh wait...nevermind.

I just can't do it anymore! The ridiculous logic it takes to hold positions like this... it burns! How are others able to hold these beliefs for years without the ridiculousness being realized?
