Will Tuladhar-Douglas200 vultures poisoned by poachers seeking body parts for lucrative international trade. They laced the carcass of an elephant. 80 survived because of fast rescue by South African wildlife rangers.
Just as with the white rhino, poachers know that if they kill more vultures, and the vultures become scarce, the price goes up. It's a perverse incentive to actually drive desirable animals to extinction.
