Rangers at the GSMNP seeks your help

Hello. Below you will find a link from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GSMNP), seeking assistance in locating the "perp", of a federal criminal act. On April 6th, park rangers reported a large number of dead birds along the side of the road on Foothills Parkway West. Park wildlife rangers identified that 33 black vultures had been dumped. 

Black vultures are a federally protected species under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, and it is illegal to harm or kill them without a permit from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Dumping of anything in a national park is illegal.
