The answer to your question of “Do buzzards like french food?” is yes, apparently.

A few hunters I know would be inclined to shoot the vultures, the eagles, and the sea lions after they shot the ducks.

My dad wanted to be left on a vacant beach somewhere to be reclaimed by the birds, crabs and the rest of nature.

My sister had him cremated instead.

In ancient Rome and Greece, the vulture was a sacred bird.

They rarely killed other animals, and they kept the countryside clear of stinky dead animals and dead humans.

"They took 45 to 50 minutes to eat the body."

They should of listened to their mothers warning them about eating too fast.

They eat the bones as well. Obama armed Mexican drug gangs for example get rid of bodies (if they want to) by bringing them into the desert, slicing the flesh, then letting the vultures eat them to the bone. And when they do, the gangs smash up the bones and the vultures eat that as well. No body left whatsoever. I saw the photos.

Hey, vultures gotta eat too. Why not train them to eat liberals, or would that poison them?

Somebody should bring this to the attention of that Massachusetts funeral home that’s having trouble finding a place to bury Older Brother Terrorist.

"...the woman had fallen down a 300-metre slope while taking a short cut walking with two friends. "

Must've looked like shortcut on the map,...just didn't show the elevation change.

Apparently there are not enough wild animals and “open space” in France?

Seems sort of like a Hitchcock plot, what with vultures and buzzards massing in unusual numbers on the east coast earlier this spring.

As far as their going for live prey, what did the French expect after depriving them of their natural diet?

Given the general bass-ackward wackiness of environmentalists in general and the French in particular, they’ll probably start requiring healthy cattle be killed and left in the field to solve the problem.

And the moral of the story is, There are no short-cuts in life. Stay on the beaten & proven path.
