In the study, conducted by the University of Oviedo and the Spanish National Research Council, information provided by GPS tagged griffon vultures and wolves was used to asses if livestock carcasses left in the countryside complied with European sanitary regulations.
Hundreds of livestock carcasses were located through on-site visits to the animals equipped with GPS.
