This doesn't pass the smell test.

First off....vultures feed on dead animals....so if the drug was working there wouldn't be any dead cows lying around for the vultures to feed on.

Second....if the drug is so toxic it kills large preditors like vultures....stands to reason it will knock off a few cows.

Third....what about the recovered cows...still have that toxic stuff in them and so unfit for milk / and or human consumption.

Finally.... and for those with shoe fetish....don't suck on leather shoes for a month or so.....as a major Indian export is leather from dead cows that is subsequently turned into shoes..

Actually, this does pass the (rotten) smell test.
Mammals, which includes humans and cows, can metabolize diclofenac. Vultures cannot - hence it is toxic to them but (at reasonable doses), not toxic to us.
