When India accidentally wiped out its vultures, half a million people died in five years.

The bird doing zoomies in this video runs the most extreme digestive system in the animal kingdom. Vulture stomach acid sits near pH 1, strong enough to destroy anthrax, rabies, and botulism in the carcasses they eat. A flock strips a cow to bone in about 45 minutes.

India had 50 million of them. Free sanitation at national scale, in a country where religious custom means most cattle die natural deaths and every dead cow becomes a carcass someone has to deal with.

Then the patent on diclofenac expired in 1994. Farmers started using the cheap painkiller on livestock. Trace amounts left in a carcass cause kidney failure in vultures. Within a decade, 50 million birds fell to a few thousand. The fastest collapse of any bird species since the passenger pigeon.

The carcasses didn't disappear. Feral dogs took the vultures' place and brought rabies with them. Rotting remains leached into waterways. In districts where vultures once thrived, human death rates rose more than 4 percent. Economists at Chicago and Warwick put the toll at 100,000 extra deaths a year and $69 billion in annual damages.

So yes, the goofy bird sprinting down the walkway is adorable. It's also a disease firewall that evolution spent millions of years building and one generic painkiller nearly erased in ten.

In Thane, a hotel owner ordered 7 kg of curd from Blinkit for his hotel.

However, as soon as the order was delivered, he noticed that the curd had already expired on August 7.

Angered by the incident, the hotel owner went to Blinkit’s warehouse in Kothari Compound,

where a commotion reportedly broke out. Several other customers present at the warehouse also raised complaints,

alleging that they too had received expired products.

Following the incident, serious questions are now being raised over the quality-control measures and safety standards followed by Blinkit while delivering food products to customers.

1st photo, Singapore:
- An unclean peeler and few cockroaches were found at Yun Hai Yao Pte Ltd. The court fined the company S$7000, and licence suspended.

2nd photo, India:
- A few cockroaches were found inside the kitchen of Park Inn by Radisson. The FDA suspended its licence, and the company went to court.

Bombay High Court said:
"There was an insect on my desk, what can we do now? We are in India, we have to take a realistic stand."

This soft attitude is exactly why food safety in India is so bad.

Every food business and every big brand should live with one fear: If you fail basic hygiene standards and play with people's health, your licence can be suspended.

Public health is not a joke. Stop protecting brands. Start protecting people.

@flipkartsupport If my concern was addressed why wasn't the order delivered

[Nudrat Sayed @Nudrat110]

Placed order for a cat cage. Was supposed to be delivered on 10th. Was informed that it will be delivered on 12th reason being I rescheduled the delivery. Blatant lie. No after sales service for complaint redressal. Poor service
@flipkartsupport

[Nudrat Sayed @Nudrat110]

@flipkartsupport You promised delivery of the order today. Where is it. Lies after lies was all that was given. I rcvd a message saying despite repeated attempts I didn't respond. Show me the proof that your delivery person tried contacting me. Flipkart supports liars

[Nudrat Sayed @Nudrat110]

@flipkartsupport Your delivery person are liars and you people are pathetic. Never will I ever place an order with you people. Will let all my friends know that you people are not to be trusted and you hire the most disgusting liars as delivery partners

@worshipVK Yes reservation on caste basis should end. Instead reservations can be on economic basis

@Protect_Wldlife Shameless parent.

A female student alleges that police called her a “prostitute,” threatened to strip and beat her inside a police station and assaulted her so severely that her ear started bleeding.

Where are the Women’s Commission and Human Rights Commission? Will they act, or remain silent ?

[Siddharth @SidKeVichaar]

The Modi government and Delhi Police have ruined this student’s life💔

Pellet gun injuries shattered his body and destroyed his future

Have they any shame left?

[Nehr_who? @Nher_who]

Mumbai Police are threatening students

" If you come to Protest again, I will frame you all in drug case and you'll spend your whole life in Jail.

I'm a very bad guy,don't test me,I'll throw u all in Jail"

This is what goons in uniform look like, Hope the Nation is watching

@AmazonHelp This is not a stand alone incident. Such incidences have happened repeatedly, I have complained about it time and again but there has been no improvement in your services because you people don't take any cognisance of it

[Nudrat Sayed @Nudrat110]

@amazonIN I ordered groceries yesterday that was supposed to be delivered today by 2pm. Received a message saying that I refused the order when I wasn't even contacted. What sort of service are you providing. Shameful

[Nudrat Sayed @Nudrat110]

@AmazonHelp For some reason, I can't raise a complaint for this order. Your support page is showing all my previous orders but not this one

[Nudrat Sayed @Nudrat110]

@AmazonHelp I ordered groceries from Amazon Fresh yesterday that was delivered to me today. One of the ordered items is missing. Customer care as usual can't be contacted. Can you please help me with this issue

[Nudrat Sayed @Nudrat110]

@Olacabs I paid my pending bill yesterday through Gpay. The payment was successful yet the Ola App shows that the payment is pending. Can it be explained why is it so

[Nudrat Sayed @Nudrat110]

@AmazonHelp Had ordered L'oreal hair dye that was delivered on 4th Dec. Opened the boxes today to find dye in one box while the other was filled with empty tubes of some creams. Called customer care to be told that the order was non refundable. No complaints taken

[Nudrat Sayed @Nudrat110]

@AmazonHelp No use. I am asked to wait as usual by Amazon. As it has happened repeatedly, I will get a message by 10.15 that the order is being returned to the seller. This is disgusting

[Nudrat Sayed @Nudrat110]

@amazonIN Despite repeated complaints about delivery of orders, there has been no action from Amazon. I still don't get my orders and the reason is payment issues. Customer care service is a sham
