that is very sad to hear Askash, this article is a good read to inform all about the Vulture's crucial part in nature.... and how it actually help humans too!

In my state there are hardly 100 of them left. Their number has become half in the last 2 years.

The vulture population in India has gone from 40 million to 60,000 largely due to poisoning, often by the drug diclofenac.

@Satyen Thanks for suggesting the right species of the vulture.

This one is critically endangered.
