The U.S. Customs and Border Protection is currently tangoing with a new group of resistors: 300 vultures.

Apparently a group—or kettle—of vultures is making life miserable around a CBP radio tower in Kingsville, Texas. The tower itself is covered in “droppings mixed with urine” which makes for an unpleasant working environment for the agency’s employees.

Quick, somebody give the vultures directions to Mar-a-lardo

Border patrol officials have had enough of the vulture leavings, and they are seeking help in getting some netting up around the tower. It isn’t just a messy situation either, workers have had to dodge dropped prey barreling down on them from 300 feet in the air. Plus, the integrity of the tower is at stake because vulture vomit can be corrosive.

The scavenger birds are protected from being hunted or simply killed by the 1918 Migratory Bird Treaty Act, so CBP has to share their space with the vultures until they can get that netting in place.

Has no one welcomed the vultures to #resistence yet?
