Rapaire: "Jaines still use the "Towers of Silence" I believe."

In a recent issue of Smithsonian there was an article on the disappearing vultures of India. So many vultures have disappeared that the Jaines have had to come up with a different way to dispose of their dead.

Apparently the medical system in India is making quite a few reverse engineered drugs. Those drugs are cheap, so cheap that the farmers are using a certain pain-killer for their cattle. Unfortunately the residue in a dead cow kills the vultures.
