NathanVulture Motives
If you do not know much about vultures, allow us to give you a little explanation. Vultures are scavengers, which basically means that their main food is dead animals. They rely on dead bodies of other animals as a source of nutrition and diet. But during the time when there is not a dead body or a carcass is to be found, these birds are known to target ailing or weak animals within their vicinity.
Signs of Weakness
So we can see from here that the dog was probably showing signs of dying or was getting weaker and weaker. It would not alarm the vultures if the dog was healthy and strong as they only feed on the dead. So it turns out that the possibility of the dog getting ripped apart by the raptors was highly probable. Would the dog be able to escape this or did the vultures have their way?
In Their Nature
We can tell that these birds would probably stay while and be around the dying animal because they are waiting for her to die. It would then give them a good chance of getting fed. They would get to pick the meat from her dead body. It is a very horrific thought but can you blame the vultures? It is in their nature to feed on the dead so the dog would have to wait and see what happens.
No Time To Lose
So obviously just the mere thought of this would be a terrifying prospect. When the animals rescuers were called, they had no time to lose. If they were not quick to come and get the poor dog, then her fate would have turned to the worst. So the animal rescue team came rushing to the site. They could get there in time and the dog was still living and breathing. The canine was about to have quite an adventure in the future…
In Grave Threat
The people soon got to the place where the dog was tied up. They were glad to see that the dog was not dead yet but were still in shock to see the state she was in. It was definitely not a pretty sight. They discovered little Lilo tucked inside her plastic shed afraid to come out of where she felt most safe. There was a number of vultures in and around her plastic doghouse.
Encircling Lilo
These vultures clearly did not seem to mind waiting if they were going to get to feast on the dog. Since the dog had been abandoned for so long, they were quite confident that she was going to die soon. Two of them were actually roosting on top of Lilo’s doghouse. The vultures made sure that the poor dog was confined and they maintained a good guard over her surroundings.
