Vultures murderers

The vultures are scavengers.
There are close to their prey until they are assured that you are completely dead. Even waiting for the predator who gave hunting leaves.
So what has become murderers? Ranchers in the area of Navarre complained that their livestock were being attacked by vultures.

Although initially it was hard to believe, is found in some animal hospitals in Spain and France, had been detained with other birds of prey, not carrion. Of these could have learned this pattern of conduct. Although there were a danger, from now may be for entire flocks.

Dr. David Houston, biologist at the University of Glasgow and specialist vultures, said: "It's really special to see them attacking and eating a live animal."

Houston, also asserts that: "I know of no deep and serious work (there are only a few isolated events) who has studied similar behaviour in any of the populations of vultures in the world. "Finally, the vultures specialist talks about the possibility that these birds have lost their fear of pets and humans: Are we not altering the nature of our action?
