*[Enwl-eng] These birds stop diseases. Humans are killing them.

            Vultures stop deadly diseases from spreading — don't let them go 
extinct!

                  Vultures might be known as heralds of death, but the sad 
irony is, these huge and majestic birds are themselves now being ushered 
towards extinction. And in this case, the predator is humans. Vultures are 
crucial for maintaining a healthy, clean ecosystem. Electrocution, 
poisoning, shooting, trapping, and even violent collisions with buildings 
are some of the intentional and unintentional ways we have been killing off 
these majestic, massive birds for decades. This is bad for the vultures — 
and it's also bad for us.

                  Vultures get a bad rap because of their association with 
death and eating rotting corpses, but the truth is they actually prevent 
death. By turning deceased critters into dinner, they both practice ethical 
eating (rarely striking healthy, living animals!) and help stamp out nasty 
diseases before they spread and infect whole species. This is particularly 
important in the wake of COVID-19, which has taught us just how deadly 
animal-borne viruses can be. If vultures and their impressively acidic 
stomachs aren't there to eat up and destroy these viruses, things could get 
a whole lot worse for humanity. Sign the petition to demand that government 
leaders work together to implement conservation plans! Save the vultures 
now!

                  Thank you,

                  P.S. For the past 20 years, vultures have been dying off, 
and the primary cause is humans. Sign the petition to demand vultures be 
saved from extinction!
