If dead things were left to rot, disease would break out and would make us all very sick.
Turkey Vultures have a special acid in their stomach that breaks down deadly diseases and is excreted out the other end as almost a sanitized liquid. They use this liquid to keep cool, but pooping on their legs. It also serves as "hand sanitizer" for them.
Turkey Vultures are very important to us and our ecosystem. When they eat the dead animals, they kill off the bacteria which would probably find its way into our water system or food system and soon to us. So, Turkey Vultures destroy the bacteria before it can harm us.
