For years in India they’ve been giving their aged “sacred” cows an Anti-inflammatory drug containing Diclofenac to keep them alive longer. Vultures can’t digest it and it kills them. This meant a huge loss in the number of vultures, so the dead cows were being eaten by packs of dogs. The number of dogs exploded and have been spreading rabies in a wildly increasing number of cases. I haven’t heard much about the last 3 or 4 years, so I don’t know what the situation is now but I can’t imagine it improving.
