- Introduction of new drugs for cattle in the country is causing serious concern among vulture conservationists.
- Among the drugs, “flunixin” is considered one of the most dangerous.
- Just 1% of this new drug in veterinary dispensaries will negatively impact the small population of vultures.
- Activists have urged the Tamil Nadu animal husbandry authorities to stop its use.
- Earlier purchase of “ketoprofen” drug was stopped and use of “diclofenac” was reduced to save vulture population.
