"I took a trip to visit a vulture centre close to the airfield in Haartespoort run by an extraordinarily dedicated woman. Kerrie Wolter has made it her mission to try and save these birds from extinction. She shares her home with about 250 of these huge birds and runs tagging, breeding and education programmes. (...)
Kerrie runs a vulture feeding station and it was fascinating, if a bit gruesome to watch a large number of them squabbling over a disembowelled pig. One running after the other as he hopped away with a piece of intestine dangling from his beak. Not an easy animal to love. (...)"
Maybe, but we need them and they definitely need us now. See why on http://www.vulpro.com and help Kerri in her task. @VulPro
