#SaveTheVultures: They need all the help
Naturally, vultures shouldn't be in this acute situation. According to many traditional folklores, vulture are sacred birds or messengers of the gods helping to take sacrifices to the heavens. For example, the Yorubas of West Africa have it in their oral poetry and incantations that "...akìí pa igún, akìí jẹ́ igún, akìí fi ẹyẹ igún bọ orí". Meaning "...we don't kill the vulture, we don't eat the vulture and we don't use the vulture for sacrifice.
