“According to a New Scientist report, there have been cases of vultures grabbing the bodies of shot animals before the hunters can reach them.”

No sympathy here, except for the vultures-they were designed to be a natural cleanup crew, for God’s sake. Do these French pick up/burn road kill too? Do they scour the woods for all the dead squirrels and rabbits to burn?

I guess the French would get the vapors if they came out here-even road kill just gets dragged to the side of the road or into the woods for vultures to dispose of. That said, I’ve seen the vultures who hang out on the cliffs swoop down and grab live lizards and snakes a few times too...

Valuable lesson here: do not fall off 300 meter cliffs while touring Pyrenee Mountains....

When shooting ducks over saltwater in Southeast Alaska, you pick up the floaters as fast as possible since the bald eagles will swoop down and take them as will the sea lions from underneath. I've seen it happen more than once.
