On Saturday evening, the London-based Daily Mail posted a major story updating the mass animal kill story... The latest report is of 8,000 turtle doves that fell from the sky in northern Italy, that happened in the town of Faenza... This bird kill was the largest number of mass animal kills in Europe. (50 dead birds were found in Sweden earlier this week). The new wave of mass fish and bird deaths continue world-wide with the fall of the 8,000 turtle doves in Italy. This time, all the birds have a blue stain on their beaks when they hit the ground. The blue stains may lead to a solution to the mystery. Witnesses say the birds started falling one-by-one then in groups of 10 to 20. Residents of Faenza, described the fallen doves as lying in heaps on flowerbeds, crushed by machinery on the streets or "horribly hung from trees like Christmas balls," Italy's GeaPress reported today. Italy's dead doves come not long after 2 million dead fish washed ashore along Maryland's Chesapeake Bay -- and just days after up to 5,000 blackbirds fell out of the sky in a one-mile area near Beebe, Ark., and thousands of drum fish turned up dead along a stretch of an Arkansas river. Other animal die-offs in the past two weeks include reports of 40,000 dead crabs washing ashore near Kent, England, hundreds of snapper fish dead in New Zealand, 150 tons of red tilapia dead in Vietnam, 500 jackdaws crashing to their death in Sweden, more than 450 birds falling onto a Louisiana highway and a mass of dead fish in a Florida creek. (THATS 150 TONS!) What....is...going...on...
and...why...is..it..not...being...reported - by the minute? I want to know!
