I'm starting this thread as a central repository for animal die-off reports.

Initial posting date is Jan. 21, 2011.

I encourage anyone and everyone to post additional reports to this thread.

Yeah yeah, I know, it's only because of the Internet that we seem to be experiencing wide-spread animal die-offs.

Spare me the "Nothing to see here, citizen" routine.

55 buffalo die mysteriously on southern Cayuga County farm

Sempronius buffalo farmer Peter Head has lost 55 animals to a mysterious illness since October, but autopsies have shown no clear cause of death.

"We're going nuts down here trying to figure out what's going on," he said. "This is going to put me out of business. That's half my frickin' herd."

Where was the media when this sort of thing happened in my great grandmother’s day?

They were part of the vast conspiracy.

Death-from-above? ping for the usual suspects.

Y'all let me know if you think these die-off phenomena deserve their own ping list.

This is what MSNBC recently reported on a South Dakota die-off: “Mass bird die-off: Feds poisoned them”:

“...At first, Yankton Animal Control Officer Lisa Brasel said that the authorities “thought the birds didn’t migrate, and got cold and froze to death.”

..She planned to send some of the bodies to South Dakota State University for testing, until she got a phone call from officials with the United States Department of Agriculture that solved the mystery.

“They said they had poisoned the birds about 10 miles south of Yankton, and they were surprised they came to Yankton like they did,” Brasel told
USDA wildlife biologist Ricky Woods explained that a large group of starlings was causing problems in a north Nebraska cattle feedlot, eating the feed and leaving waste on both the feed and equipment. So the USDA put out DRC 1339 poison for the birds, Woods said....”

10,000 cows die in Vietnam–weather to blame?

Locals overheard saying "it's a tmoo-nami!"

Over half a million views of the Google map - interesting!

Matthew 24:3-15....

3And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

4And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

5For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

6And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

7For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

8All these are the beginning of sorrows.

9Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.

10And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

11And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

12And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

13But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

14And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

15When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

They upped the tally of dead starlings to over 300. Many locals are not buying the FDA explanation.

Normally I don’t post news articles about my squirrel kills where dozens will meet their end in the span of a weekend, but if that is what interests those in this thread...

6 dead black birds this morning in my back yard. Three well placed shots from a 12 gauge using #8 shot. The rest of the flock moved on and presumably are doing well

Ping list worthy, IMHO. Add me, please, if you start one.

Thanks.

Of course not, its the rational less than exciting explanation. A year or so back, some 60 swans disappeared from the lake where I live. There were some questions but around here the general feeling is that the DEQ eliminated the pests. Announcing it would have sent the green weenies into siezures.

5 dead spiders in my home in the last week.
