Vulture Restaurants: Serving Up Clean Carcasses, Free of Charge
Ok I don't know how to put this part in a Quote
... but the part below is quoted.
For the small number of vulture lovers the world over, good news comes this summer from Sindh, Pakistan. In June, a new "vulture restaurant" opened to provide safe food for the endangered birds — no reservations needed, but it's always a fierce fight for the flesh. Similar vulture ventures have already been successful in South Africa, India and Nepal, where one region in which a restaurant started to provide vultures with clean carcasses saw a doubling of nesting pairs in just two years, according to Bird Conservation Nepal.
Thought this was a very interesting article and wanted to share it with you all!

I am not an advocate of vulture restaurants near our wild areas in Africa, as from my experience, we are not seeing the vulture population we should be seeing at kills any more. In my area we have three vulture feeding restaurants in close proximity, in some cases the lapped face is not arriving to open the carcass for the other vultures, this is having catastrophic results for the disposal of the carcass, and for the other vultures who rely on the carcass being opened before they can feed.
