Governments in the region have responded by banning the veterinary version of diclofenac.

该地区各国政府的回应是禁止兽医版双氯芬酸。

Some species of vulture can't metabolize diclofenac, a painkiller that became widely used in the 1990s to treat cattle.

某些种类的秃鹰无法代谢双氯芬酸，这是一种在 1990 年代广泛用于治疗牛的止痛药。

In most places, however, veterinarians can still use diclofenac's most common alternatives, which are also toxic to vultures.

然而，在大多数地方，兽医仍然可以使用双氯芬酸最常见的替代品，这些替代品对秃鹰也有毒。

And these farmers were giving diclofenac to cattle, because cattle, just like people, you know, get old, get aches and pains.

阿维尔：这些农民给牛喂双氯芬酸，因为牛就像人一样，会变老，会感到疼痛。

The only way they can really prove for sure if diclofenac kills vultures is to poison their babies.

他们能真正证明双氯芬酸是否能杀死秃鹫的唯一方法就是毒死它们的幼崽。

They swapped out their perfect Whole Foods meals with some buffalo that had been given diclofenac.

阿维尔：他们用一些服用了双氯芬酸的水牛代替了完美的全食食品。

[laughs] AVIR: So anyway, Munir and the team realize that farmers are giving their cattle this drug, this painkiller diclofenac.

露露：[笑] AVIR：所以无论如何，穆尼尔和团队意识到农民正在给他们的牛服用这种药物，这种止痛药双氯芬酸。

Scientists found an alternative drug for the cows, and India, Pakistan and Nepal, they all got together and actually banned diclofenac for veterinary use.

科学家们为奶牛找到了一种替代药物，印度、巴基斯坦和尼泊尔联合起来，实际上禁止了双氯芬酸用于兽医用途。

MUNIR VIRANI: If your cow had a limp and was unable to carry the produce to market, you just pumped it with diclofenac.

MUNIR VIRANI：如果您的奶牛跛行并且无法将产品运往市场，您只需用双氯芬酸泵送它即可。

I love that you said that, Latif, because we see diclofenac in the vultures that are dead, but is that the reason that they're dead?

阿维尔：我喜欢你这么说，拉蒂夫，因为我们在死秃鹰身上看到了双氯芬酸，但这就是它们死的原因吗？

Some evidence suggests this strategy is having an impact - surveys found nearly all pharmacies in Bangladesh stopped selling diclofenac by the end of 2015, down from 25% in 2014.

一些证据表明这一策略正在产生影响——调查发现，到 2015 年底，孟加拉国几乎所有药店都停止销售双氯芬酸，低于 2014 年的 25%。

And even after the cow gets, like, too old to pull your cart or whatever, the farmers a lot of times, at least the Hindu ones, would still give them diclofenac because they're seen as sacred animals.

阿维尔：即使在牛变得太老而无法拉车或其他什么之后，很多时候农民，至少是印度教农民，仍然会给它们服用双氯芬酸，因为它们被视为神圣的动物。
