Police in Greeneville, TN. have begun to hang dead vultures from trees near a playground.
The action is to scare other vultures that represent a threat to the public health. The vultures will vomit up their meals, bones and all on playground fixtures.
The department obtained a permit from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to kill up to 30 black vultures and 10 turkey vultures. The agency was advised to display the dead vultures to serve as a warning the rest of the flock.
It worked, They may come back, but they’re not there now.
