Parsi's
Dear Fudgeecool,
You are right to some extent. Now we almost don't have Parsi community. Those (a bigger part) live in today's India (mainly in Bombay-Mumbai), do they keep on going for the same tradition of burial now-a-days?
Do you think descents of Jamshed-bhai Tataji or Feroze Gandhi keeps on maintaining the tradition of their forefathers?
My question was for knowing: Is someone keep on continuing the same old tradition?
For example, Hindus with burning (cremetion by fire) to ashes is still continuing the trend.
Have you heard about the Bahaiya community? Have they preserved the old tradition of their forefather Parsis?
I would be loving to have some new highlights!
I don't know that whether it belongs to a particular religion, but i saw this on the discovery channel - it is done in Tibet; is an ancient custom. I believe it is called a sky burial
Maybe if they found them dead outside. Otherwise no.
=Other vultures!=
No they are not. Vultures are carnivores they scavenge off of dead carcasses. or dead bodies
Yes, cheetahs have been known to eat vultures. When vultures are eating dead animals, the cheetah will attack them.
Vultures eat carrion, meaning dead animals.
if it is dead, vultures are scavengers
They might take a peck if they found a dead one, but eagles don't hunt vultures for food.
The Tower of Silence is associated with the Zoroastrian religion. It is a structure used for the exposure of dead bodies to be consumed by vultures, following the Zoroastrian belief of maintaining purity of the earth by not contaminating it with dead bodies.
no, they do not it depends on if they are hungry enough.
Vultures will eat any dead animal.
Vultures will not eat the dead of their species. In fact, dead vulture carcasses are used to deter colonies of vultures from area where they should not be.
