Reply #12: i did wonder abt that, since it died from an injury rather than illness

[pitohui]

if they had to saw it up anyway to fit in dumpster, i wonder why they didn't saw it up anyway as raw meat for the carnivores, maybe the type of euthanasia gas used prohibits this

there's an anesthetic given to cattle, that if the cattle dies anyway, it also kills the vulture, this has already wiped out 3 species of vultures in india in only a few years (while not technically complete extinct the three populations have only token birds left and almost certainly can't recover at this point, so they're functionally extinct)

could be something like that??? they think the euthanasia gas might harm the predators?
