Vultures are the ugliest, we say. The forbidden bird we attach nothing short of negative and disdain names is however, assumed worthless and dangerous to our existence hence, the clear need to get rid of it whenever it sets out seeking it's prey. But it appears most of us are short of the reality that nothing nature made is worthless. Vultures aren't either. In fact, Vultures are necessary for human habitation to be possible. Here are some verified reasons

1. Vultures prevent harm and diseases by feeding on dead animal carcasses: BBC World’s Power of Nature
2. They’re the only dustmen in the world who’ve never gone on strike i.e. they are natural environment cleansing agents: Parry-Jones .
3. In the 1980s, more than 40 million vultures existed throughout India, where they ate about 12 million tons (11 million metric tons) of rotting flesh each year, according to the environmental writer Tony Juniper. With this, abandoned bodies of persons that died in accidents that could cause environmental harm to the living, are cleared.
4. Because Ranchers give their cattle an anti-inflammatory drug called diclofenac that is toxic to the birds, which eat dead cattle, without vultures to eat this festering morass, wild dogs will do. The dogs will in turn, spread rabies by biting humans. This killed an estimated 50,000 people in the last couple decades, in India.
And what more, Vultures have saved humans billions of dollars by protecting our ecosystems and ensuring the air is less polluted. God was, is and will be ever wise.
