Starving Vultures Prey On Living Animals
MADRID - Huge flocks of starving vultures have started attacking live animals in northern Spain, officials in the city of Burgos said on Thursday.
Ranchers have complained that vultures started attacking livestock several months ago when a feeding station set up in the Ordunte mountains was closed by the neighboring province of Vizcaya. Vultures prefer to feed on the carcasses of dead animals, but carrion is scarce in modern Spain.
