20 vultures die after eating drug-infected cattle in Assam
As many as 20 vultures were found dead in Assam's Lakhimpur district on Saturday after they fed on cattle carcasses contaminated with antibiotics. Fifty-two other vultures were rescued and at least 45 of them were able to fly after treatment, officials said. Notably, the cattle in the area were earlier vaccinated following an outbreak of a bovine disease.
