Reframing revolting

I have to suggest that everyone read Constance Casey's, Vulture World, the most recent post on her "continuing series about revolting creatures" in Slate. Maybe I am recommending it because my eccentric father welcomes a vulture that he has named Chuck into his life and yard, or maybe it is because this article made me think differently about giving my father a hard time about his strange pet. Or maybe I just feel bad about how vultures really do have an undeserved, bad reputation.
