Vulture restaurant
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
(Redirected from Vulture Restaurant)
A vulture restaurant is a site where carrion is deposited for endangered vultures to feed on.[1]
The survival of vultures in some areas is threatened by a variety of circumstances, including loss of habitat and diminishing food sources.[1] In Nepal, vulture deaths have been caused by the ingestion of diclofenac, an anti-inflammatory medication used to treat cattle on whose carcasses the vultures feed.[2]
Vulture restaurants operate in a number of countries, including Nepal,[2] India,[3] Cambodia,[4] South Africa,[5] Swaziland,[1] and Spain.[6]
