I love vultures. They are humble. They just want what no one else has use for.
Is it coincidence that 100 is the number of US Senators, or has our Senate moved north?
At first, I thought the U.S. Senate was coming to town, then I read the excerpt.
Did they receive an invitation from the town’s lawyers, or did they drop in unannounced?
Why does it cost $500 per carcass ?
Was in Fla a few years back, right after a cold spell that killed a bunch of tilapia. The vultures were everywhere, especially hung out around the crocs because they smelled like dead fish.
“professional courtesy”
Maybe the vultures read where most of those in this neighborhood voted for Obama[care].
Incidentally just read where a gathering of vultures around a carcass is called a “wake” — a wake of vultures.
Bridgewater NJ is not really what you call ‘’upmarket’’.
I wonder if this would work with ambulance chasers.
Jeez. Why are they complaining? If life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Why don’t they have a Buzzard Festival or something? There are other places that do this out West. I guess Jersey residents are too used to being spoon fed by the government to have any imagination!
Because you have to wrestle the carcass away from the wake of vultures first before you can hang it.
I've been to a few family gatherings where that name would be appropriate, given the behavior.
The affected Bridgewater residents were planning to chip in to pay for the effigy, which costs around $500 per carcass
...
um... give me a 22 and some string and i’ll do it for half the cost!
0bama minions?
The Pancake and Sausage Breakfast is great!
There was a house in a near by town that had a couple dozen on its roof - big mess.
We’ve had a dozen or so come circling in in the evening to roost in the pines - vulture guano on the rhododendrons, so pretty.
I used to try to throw stones at them but I have a terrible arm. Maybe a slingshot.
For years I looked for black vultures whenever we went down South - never saw them, never could put them on my list. The first ones I ever saw were here in NJ, and now they’re everywhere.
