After it was discovered that diclofenac killed vultures that consumed cattle carcasses treated with the drug, it was outlawed in India, Pakistan, Nepal, and Bangladesh. Hundreds of millions of vultures are thought to have died due to this, with some birds dwindling by 99.9% in areas of South Asia.
Despite this, diclofenac was accepted in Spain and other European countries because producers, drug makers, and regulators claimed that cattle carcasses in Europe were handled differently than in India. Vultures will be unable to consume meat contaminated with diclofenac as a result of this.

Lady Amherst s Pheasant
The birds were introduced to England in the 1890s by Lady Sarah Amherst, who brought them to her estate from their native China and Myanmar. By 1990 there were only about 20 of the pheasants left in the U.K. The last Lady Amherst s was believed to have been discovered and photographed in 2015.
