Mass animal deaths scrutinized as Google map cites numerous incidents
Five thousand blackbirds in Arkansas. One hundred pelicans near Jacksonville, North Carolina. Three hundred doves in Italy. Seventy bats in Tucson, Arizona. Thousands of fish in Australia, New Zealand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Brazil and the United States.
Google is now hosting a map of incidents of mass animal deaths around the world. Google Maps' distinctive blue balloons indicate where the deaths took place. Click on a balloon, and the map provides you with a link to a news report on the incident.
As of Friday afternoon, there were about 30 cases pinpointed on the search engine's mapping site, most of them in the U.S. and Europe.
Some might say it's getting spooky - and not just by conspiracy theorist standards - but experts tell CNN Radio that theories of UFOs and secret government weapons are, naturally, far-fetched.
In the case of the Arkansas blackbirds, wildlife buffs have said that a loud noise or other event may have precipitated the blunt-force trauma that killed the birds. Of all the notions about their deaths, Susie Kesielke, curator of birds at the Los Angeles Zoo, believes the theory that fireworks startled the birds is the most plausible.
“Blackbirds roost communally in the wintertime, and they sleep more soundly than most animals,” Kesielke said, adding that the birds were shocked awake and extremely disoriented.
Jonathan Sleeman, director of the National Wildlife Health Center in Madison, Wisconsin, said his office has investigated 16 mass bird deaths in the past 20 years.
“This is a bit unusual but not unique,” he explained. “Most of the cases involved pesticides or poison ingested by the birds, but trauma has also been found to be the cause of mass bird deaths."
Good to know experts aren't buying that Armageddon is upon us. Offering even more comfort is the blog Universe Today, which suggests that the deaths aren't so much strange as they are "a symptom of the digital age where news travels faster than you can say, 'The End is Nigh.' "
It cites a Time magazine article that details several strange mass animal deaths and wonders "if the internet age allows us to connect the dots where there are none to be connected."
As for connecting dots, the blog suggests that the map on Google could be laid on top of a "current global oil exploration map to test the hypothesis that the deaths could have been caused by ground-penetrating tomography."
In any case, it seems level heads are prevailing for now - at least until scads of humans succumb to spontaneous combustion.
“Until the sky turns red and there’s a plague of locusts, this event is not that unusual,” Sleeman said of the blackbirds.

there are so many things that can bring the death upon our earth but this state of the apoclips said when the day of the death of our animals is the coming of the end of the earth and its human family so it could be god's judgement day has hit or it is going to come true that our earth is coming to our end
Does the distribution pattern of the dead birds show they dropped where they flew into something? Not from the pictures I saw.
in our little town of mcconnelsville ohio (morgan county). in the last two weeks we have had thousands of crows or ravens whatever you want to call them massing around our town. flying in circles in huge flocks , thousands of them just hovering over our town. but the really strange thing is they are doing it at nite ten eleven or even twelve or one oclock in the morning. this is weird crows flying in that big a flock and in the middle of the nite. anyone have any answers to this one?

has noone ever heard of HARP????
HAARP is behind all of this, as well as most of the 'natural disasters' lately, and its probably going to get worse. Check out this blog I've been following its scary stuff
http://how-will-it–end.blogspot.com/
if continuous natural disasters with mass human deaths, and mass, unexplained deaths of fish, cows, birds, bees, and whatever else, all occurring within the last 10-ish years isn't a sign, then what is?
what would be a good sign, aside from seeing the Lord Himself? what combination of what events would finally make people believe there is something apocalyptic going on?
No matter what you say or what string of events happen not even as they see God himself will some people acknowledge the truth.
look the poles have shifted ,and so will every thing else this is going to get worse before it gets better. however the government has a large portion of the military spread out across the world and are down playing the problem because most people will panic if they truly understood the magnitude of the problem and civilization would be replaced by anarchy this is why they do not tell us you can't handle the truth. doesn't mean it is right though
Howdy, i'm a professional dancer. i'd like to see to make a showreel for my promotions. I also prefer to use some animation. Can someone suggest me a fantastic animation studio, but possibly not very expensive? I'm here for 3 months for a tour.
Love
Kim.
Hi,
I'm an American. I desire to Build an Animation Studio in India. Right now i'm hunting for computer animators. I picked India considering that it is more inexpensive than U.S. I would like to find out the processes for establishing a business in India, especially an animation studio.
Can you people please help me out?

Thanks , I have recently been searching for info about this topic for a long time and yours is the best I've came upon till now. But, what about the bottom line? Are you sure about the supply?|What i don't realize is if truth be told how you're no longer actually much more well-appreciated than you may be right now. You are so intelligent.
