200 Dead Cows

Yesterday on a post concerning Time News, I mentioned 200 dead cows reportedly found in WI. We will have to watch for more details, but here is some news that just came out a few hours ago.

In another shocking mass animal death, more than 200 cows were found dead at a Wisconsin farm.

Officials say the Portage County farm was hard hit by a cattle disease over the weekend.

The cause of the mysterious deaths appears to be from a form of pneumonia. The owner of the farm said the cows were unvaccinated.

Semi-trucks had to be called in to remove the dead bovines.

This seems a little strange to me if all the cattle died at the same time by pneumonia. That should have been something that happened over weeks...not happened in hours or a few days.

Remember how the government official came forward in Louisiana and said the dead birds had all hit a power line at the same time....and that was the best explanation??

This explanation for the dead cows might be true....but it seems a little lame.

Piles of crabs have been washing up on England beaches along the rocky Thanet Coast in recent days, a phenomenon that has puzzled scientists for the past few years.

In the past, environmental scientists ran tests to check for disease or other physiological problems with the crabs, coming up empty-handed.
