The EU leaves vultures homeless

Vultures are common in the Mediterranean region as well as in Africa and the Middle East. But now a hundred or so Spanish vultures have taken up residence in the Netherlands and Belgium. An EU regulation is to blame, writes Helmut Hetzel: "Spanish farmers are now acting on EU regulations which for example prohibit leaving dead sheep to rot on pasture land... The resulting food shortage has forced the vultures to seek their pickings elsewhere - so, at least, Dutch bird conservationists are saying. However, it's doubtful that these huge birds will be more successful by moving north. They may even die of starvation because of the similar lack of carrion on northern pastures... The 200 kilos of pork that Flemish bird conservationists laid out as a snack on a few fields there certainly failed to meet with the birds' approval."
