Woman Eaten By Vultures In 45 Minutes After Falling Off Cliff

[Serpo]

The body of a woman who died after falling off a cliff in France was devoured by vultures in just 45 minutes, before rescue workers were able to reach the body.

The 52-year-old woman was hiking with two friends in the French Pyrenees on April 14 when she fell off a cliff and plunged more than 980 feet to her death, according to France's TF1. The woman's body was eaten by vultures in minutes.

“There were only bones, clothes and shoes left on the ground,” Major Didier Pericou told The Times of London. "They took 45 to 50 minutes to eat the body." Adding, "When we first went out in the helicopter looking for the body, we saw numerous vultures without realizing what they were doing."

The Times notes this incident may ignite the cries of area farmers who want permission to shoot the griffon vultures, a protected species. Farmers claim the ban has led to a swell in the vulture population and their livestock is being threatened. The birds have been deprived of animal carcasses due to a European law that requires farmers to burn the bodies of dead animals.

Approximately 42 claims have been been made to local authorities for compensation for animals lost to vultures, according to Metro. Farmer Alain Larraide claimed he has seen vultures carry off live animals.

“You can’t imagine what it is like to see an animal eaten alive,” he said.

A 2011 report published in the science journal Nature revealed that the griffon vulture had turned from scavenger to predator in regions of southern France and Spain. Between 2006 and 2010 there were 1,165 reports of the bird of prey killing domestic livestock.

There was another weird story today somewhere of a climber on a cliff face found stung to death by bees or wasps.Terrible way to go as its a bit hard to run hanging from a cliff face.

Just a shadow of things to come

Ezekiel 32:4 Then will I leave thee upon the land, I will cast thee forth upon the open field, and will cause all the fowls of the heaven to remain upon thee, and I will fill the beasts of the whole earth with thee.

Exodus 23:28 And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.

Government doing what it does best --- fucking shit up.

I wonder if the vultures were imported from India......more specific from the tower of death where the bodies are taken to so the the voltures will eat them...........better from there than from NY where the rats will eat you alive.

TUCSON, Ariz. – A medical examiner says a Tucson climber founded dead, hanging from a southern Arizona cliff in his climbing gear, died from venom from bee stings.

Steven Johnson had hundreds of bee stings when found Monday in the Santa Rita Mountains. And the Arizona Daily Star reports that Dr. Gregory Hess says venom killed Johnson.

The 55-year-old was last seen Friday when he went hiking, and a search began Monday when friends got worried because he didn't go to work.

This has to be one of the most bizarre, and horrible, ways to die I've ever heard of. Even his poor dog died from bee stings. My only question, is where was his climbing partner? I don't understand how you can climb, with a rope, and no partner.

Ever been around vultures? Every now and then a vulture will fly close by or land in a tree near me. (They must know something about my end.)

Anyway, they smell like rotting death. They are stenchified critters.

they probably need beak-wash and a good talon scrub.
