The vultures(秃鹰)in question may look ugly and threatening, but the sudden sharp decline in three species of India’s vultures is producing alarm rather than celebration, and it presents the world with a new kind of environmental problem.

It is because they feed on dead cows. In India, cows are sacred animals and are【C6】______left in the open when they die in their thousands upon thousands every year.
The disappearance of the vultures has【C7】______an explosion in the numbers of wild dogs feeding on the remains of these【C8】______animals. There are fears that rabies(狂犬症)may increase as a result. And this terrifying disease may ultimately(最终)affect humans in the region,【C9】______wild dogs are its main carriers. Rabies could also spread to other animal species,【C10】______an even greater problem in the future.
The need for action is【C11】______, so an emergency project has been launched to find a solution to this serious vulture problem. Scientists are trying to【C12】______the disease causing the birds’ deaths and, if possible, develop a cure.

All three species are now listed as "critically endangered". As most vultures lay only single eggs and【C15】______about five years to reach maturity, reversing their population decline will be a long and difficult exercise.
