Near the other vultures

From Virginia:

Town manager Chris Lawrence tells The Roanoke Times that more efficient methods are being considered for the vultures' return next year.

The town could apply for a federal permit to kill one vulture. The remains would be hung near the other vultures.

Lawrence says the vultures would disperse because they don't like to be around their own dead.

I have no idea whether any of the claims in this story is true. The attitudes are important.
