Photo (scan from slide). After death, the bodies of the dead cows are left for the vultures on the river bank. The thick skin is cut by a human so that the birds have access to the entrails. After the vultures have cleaned the bones and skin, a person takes the animal's skin, which is later made into shoes, etc. The photo shows a herd of vultures, and in the background people waiting for the cows' skins cleaned by vultures.
