## Caption

The National Park Service is searching for whoever dumped the bodies of dozens of federally protected black vultures in Great Smoky Mountains National Park early last month.

“On April 6 at approximately noon, Great Smoky Mountains National Park rangers reported a large number of dead birds along the side of the road on Foothills Parkway West,” NPS wrote in a statement. “Park wildlife rangers identified that 33 black vultures had been dumped.”

Outside contacted NPS for any other information on the potential motive or cause of death, but did not receive a response in time for publication.
