Ever heard of Sky Burial in the Himalayan Range (High Altitude Countries such as Tibet and Nepal?
The practice where the burial is done by feeding the deceased body to the Vultures to Ascend the soul to afterlife.

Smelled a dead squirrel on my walk home from work. Im glad a vulture was cleaning it up as I passed. The next morning, no smell, not even a splatter in the grass. Thanks vultures!

2020 is already not a great year with all the bad news following after COVID19 pandemic. I wonder if vultures (digestive fluid pH) will be able to defeat COVID19 virus.

I did not know that vultures were so. Important. It is very unfortunate of their decline, but I'm very glad there are safe areas for vultures!

Can we just acknowledge rq that those two baby vultures kept on squawking? Kudos to the animators for putting extra effort into that

This made me think. Should we relocate vultures to all parts of the world? Ultimate objective: every country on Earth has vultures?

It's sad that their dying out like most other endangered it's caused by humans however at least some species are protected.
