A Bulgarian vulture ended up in Yemen and believed to be a spy

[FrostOwl]

A Bulgarian vulture made a long migratory trip, and ended up in Yemen, a country in the middle of war. Nelson, the vulture, had a transmitter on his leg and was believed to be a spy, and was arrested. Thankfully his Bulgarian "employers", the Fund for Wild Flora and Fauna got information about his captivity in Yemen, and could lobby for his release. A Yemeni man could travel to where Nelson was a captive, and bring him to Sanaa where a vet could examine him, being in a bit of a bad shape, but now being fed with meat and water to get to his ideal weight, hopefully being able to make his trip home again soon.

Yes, but if you read the final paragraphs in the article, you will find thatthe bird is fed meat every hour, in a country where 240,000 people face catastrophic levels of hunger. Isn't that a sign of humanity, to aid to give a bird a chance of life and flight?
