There are still large areas of the former Soviet Union that are heavily contaminated.

You forgot depression. How can you tell if a herd of antelope are depressed?

They stop playing with the deer on the range...

In this article, this curious statement is made: “ None of the data analysed to date indicates that rocket fuel is related to the mass die-off.”

Begs the question: Why was rocket fuel even a consideration?

I thought Gary Larson might have the answer. I’ve spent the past few minutes googling Far Side. Haven’t found the answer, but my mood is much improved.

Is there a typo in your link, or is another government conspiracy at work here?

Putin comes immediately to mind.

Russia does have air space availability over Kazakhstan - but so does turkey, U.S., etc - indeed, Kazakhstan is our our staging ground for entry/extract of our troops to the 'Ghan -

Yes, Russia ws the big bad Bear for decades - but just may own current regime has taken over the evil mantel? (Not that our current ruler ever lies)

Kazakhstan: (live link next post)

Kazakhstan was the location of the USSR biological weapons laboratory. Anthrax, hoof and mouth disease, Rift Valley Fever and a myriad of other diseases can go through ruminants like this. Has there been any necropsies done with laboratory testing for infectious or biological agents?

“Putin comes immediately to mind.”

Bingo. Another saber-rattling and message sent by Putin. No different from all of his military flights over the Pacific, Northern Europe, Black Sea and Med testing the west and his nuclear provocation in the Baltics.

Typo?

Are you referring to the reference to ‘rocket fuel?

It’s in the 7th paragraph starting with “Experts are working...”

I’m referring to the link in the post I was replying to (#24, IIRC).

http://espacinsular.org/medio-ambiente/1728-catastrophic-collapse-of-saiga-antelopes-in-central-asia

The page won’t load for me. I get an error message. Is there a typo? Maybe something missing?

“Previous Mass Die-Offs of the Endangered Saiga Antelope Hint at a Warm, Wet, Weedy Culprit in Kazakhstan”

Before we jump to conclusions, I guess all possibilities should be considered, no, not GW either.

Perhaps hemodynamically depression. There is a better word, if so. “Shock”.
