Vulture close to extinction because of cattle drug |

Vultures are on the verge of extinction because a banned drug is still being used illegally to treat suffering cattle. The endangered birds eat the remains of the drugged animals and suffer kidney failure and visceral gout, which is usually fatal. The drug was banned five years ago, but pharmacies continue to sell it under the counter, a study has revealed.
More than 97 per cent of vultures have disappeared from India's skies in the past 15 years - the fastest decline ever recorded in a bird population anywhere in the world. Only about 10,000 still exist in the wild, down from tens of millions in the 1980s. The white-rumped vulture - once the most populous large bird of prey - is under particular threat, having declined by 99.9 per cent. The cause of their demise is a drug called diclofenac, an anti-inflammatory used by farmers and veterinarians to ease pain in cattle. |

Hello wonhee mentor.
Thank you so much.
Yes campaign is being made to eradicate it. But it can't be settled at once. Now the most responsible factor that is use of drug is being banned. It will aid to the greatest limit.
Green cheers..

Hello Saba
It's totally dreadful condition.
Doclofenac and other responsible drugs are made to ban in some parts of country and many more works yet to be done.

Hello Asmita!
Thank you for your report addressing the problem of endangered animals. I??m really shocked about how fast vultures disappeared in India! 97% in 15 years is clearly a huge number. I believe that we should feel both the guilty and responsibly as human beings for this kind of problem. Thank you for sharing this important issue and it will be great if you can come up with any campaign that can save vultures.

Hi Asmita,
I was very shocked to read that vultures are actually close to extinction due to the cattle drug, and once again, I felt the responsibility of human in regards to this problem. Thank you for addressing this issue to us and it is definitely helpful!
Keep writing good reports! :)

Hi Asmita, wow, what a story. It is interesting what are actions from respective authorities or organisations to save these beautiful endangered bird species. Sed to read how the population has decreased.
Thanks again,
Saba

Hello Asmita
Thank you for the beautiful report. Our human activities are greatly affecting our environment. Sad to hear about Vulture being close to extinction because of cattle drug. Government must focus on the protection of vulnerable and close to extinction and protect the biodiversity.
Green Cheers :)
Keep writing great reports.
We are eager to read more reports from you.
