 You might have heard by now, but recently in the news there has been a string of mass animals deaths. Which range from birds, to fish, and to crabs. What do you think is the cause of these recent events?

Now for those who haven't heard allow me to explain.  Anyhow in the news there have been stories of birds dropping out of the sky, 1,000s of dead fish and crabs washing up on shore. Now don't get me wrong here, it is fairly common that all these things happen from time to time. But yet recently events are happening so close together it has people (me) wondering.

What could it mean? I have heard many theories that range from fireworks, supernatural acts of God, government testing (they did create the AIDS virus after all), global cooling, Beezelbub and his army of Lizard people. What's your opinion on this.

Uh huh the goverment created aids

-puts on tin foil hat-



There is alot of different reasons for all the deaths the most reasonable cause of death is that it was just too cold for most.

I'm probably gona get alot of flack for this. But I think these are signs that the world is coming to an end. Look now in the past decade we have had some pretty nasty earthquakes and natural disasters. Now usually our natural disasters are often spread further apart then what they have been in the past decade. And let me add for the last century we have been stripmineing out planet of recourses. How much longer can this go on?

Furthermore our climate is going out of whack because we are slowly drifting farther away from the sun and we have been poor stewards and have polluted the enviorment. That is why we are seeing increases in virus (I don't buy that AIDs garbage), Governments know what is happening and they are keeping it top secret. They are simply trying to preserve themselves by killing off millions through viruses and fake wars.

World governments are creating new viral outbreaks and proxy wars (look at Iraq) so there will be less mouths too feed for when the Earth does drift away from the sun. And proxy wars aside, America is no longer a peace keeper in the world today. And especially with this current administration we are not able to keep the peace. And we are seeing this with the rise of nations like Korea and Iran that want to destroy the world over with their nuclear arsenals. Think about it a sign that the world is ending is that for the first time in history we have multiple ways to destroy the world a 100 times over. From Nukes, Chemical Warfare, even to advanced blackhole physics (just look at that Hardon Collidar the French FreeMasons have built) We are seeing the breakdown of relations with foreign countries, just look at that Julian Assange guy.

To honestly I think these animals deaths back up my point that the world is coming to a end or major disaster. These animals deaths I believe are either a result of three things. Government testing, to create new viruses. Cooling of the planet as the Earth slowly strays from it's regular orbit from the sun. Or a sign from a higher power saying that the end is near. In many religions it is said that there will be "signs" that will foretell the end of days.

A virus is a good and easy explanation of large deaths within a short period due to the fact it's new viruses that kill.



The idea of a virus being engineered is preposterous,only idiots who know nothing about them would think that unless there is some nano technology involved in the function of a virus.

You started strong and ended with some crazy.

I agree as far as us having a major part in the environmental issues that plague the world today. But i think its more reasonable to say this could just be H1N1 in the birds, crabs dying of hypothermia and water  pollution then claiming this is a sign from a omnipotent being that the world is ending soon.

you know what I think? I think mother nature is responsible for new viral outbreaks.. Besides createing a 'new' virus is not smart for either sides as it would be very unpredictable and traceable.

Why not re-release the smallpox virus with a difffrent strain and a high mutation rate...better yet, make HIV to become airbone. All this a has a plausible natual event which the goverment can easily deny in any involvement.

pH balance could be off due to the BP oil spill causing unexpected reactions in animals near/in water.

No idea, really. I love that site. It's like The Onion, but it believes itself.

I think it's just one big mysterious, awesome, scientific coincidence!No, really, I think it's fascinating, and I hope they figure out why the various animals died. And I really hope it's not going to develop into a new strain of animal-to-human flu that'll freak everyone out nine ways from Sunday next winter.

Had to bring up possible real-life avian/other-animal-to-human flu (A new strain, anyway) while I'm reading The Last Centurion, didn't you? *grouses*

A influenza virus is really the least of our problems.

the Democratic Republic of the Congo coughs-up a new animal(money/ape)-human virus every few decades or so. *cough*Ebola*cough**cough*HIV*cough**cough*Monkeypox*cough*

There are many possible explanations for it. My vote goes on some sort of chemical in the air from weapons testing. Since governments around the world are intent on killing people they need to test all their weapons and they probably poisoned a bunch of birds in the process.



But that's just another theory on top of many.

The birds were killed in a hail storm. The fish that died were warm water fish. My guess cold water got to their natural habitat resulting in a sever reaction.

The birds were all too eager to be early, and believed it was one really big worm; just a broken powerline....

The one factor that needs to be considered is simply confirmation bias - once we get into our heads an idea like "there's something mysterious going on with animals dying in droves everywhere", we instinctively start looking for evidence to confirm our idea. And whatever it is you look for, you tend to find.

Reporters are certainly not immune to this, and in fact, they know that one type of a news report, if it gets popular, generates an appetite for more similar news reports. This means that if you get a news story of a bunch of fish dying in a lake, and it gains attention, the reporter who wants a good story will start to look for anything similar.

So suddenly you get a bunch of reports of all kinds of animals dying.

This may not, in fact, be anything particularly out of the ordinary, but rather it seems to be so because now our attention has been shifted, and we're LOOKING FOR such occurrances.

Looking at the cases, it seems extremely unlikely that a single cause, or even a related series of causes, would be responsible for them all, or even most of them. These things happen, and the globe is quite big - if you look for them, you'll find them. Sometimes a single population of a single species gets wiped out by a disease, or by a freak weather event, or by some environmental stress driving them to unusual behavior, which leads them to danger.

Of course it is interesting, and even important to investigate the causes of events like this, but keep a level head about it, and don't go drawing wild inferences out of the very human tendency to gravitate towards one kind of story at one time, and thus ending up with a distorted and false view that this one kind of event would be happening more at this particular time.

I think Sword brings up a valid point, the media can blow things out of proportion. Now moving on, there was one article I read that blames New Year's Fireworks for causing birds to die.



http://www.usatoday....ead-birds_N.htm



What do you make of that? It seems a little absurd to me, that fireworks caused this. On the 4th there are plenty more fireworks, and yet there are not any articles like this in July.
