Top Seven Mysterious Animal Deaths in 2017
3) Cattle Mysteriously Dying in Saskatchewan Canada
Over 200 cattle have “mysteriously died in Saskatchewan, Canada.
For decades, cattle farmers have sent their livestock to graze on the sprawling Shamrock pasture, about 80 kilometres south of Chaplin in southwest Saskatchewan. Shamrock is where Russ Coward, a fourth-generation cattle farmer, has for years raised nearly a quarter of his cattle. It’s the same place Mr. Coward’s father sent his cattle.
But some time between last Monday and Friday, the cows and calves at Shamrock began to die. It’s not known whether the deaths happened all at once or slowly over the course of the four days. But by the time the manager arrived on Friday afternoon, 200 of the approximately 680 cattle in a single field were dead.
The president of Shamrock Grazing Ltd., Glenn Straub, called Mr. Coward, who raced out to the field. He was met with a gruesome scene. “We seen a tragedy,” he said. “We simply seen a terrible sight.”
Other ranchers soon joined him, about 31 in total who have cows and calves there. “We all had the same feelings – how did this happen? How did this happen?”
Investigators working on the case suspect it was “blue-green algae poisoning”. But that theory has a lot of holes.
One of the first possibilities investigators considered was blue-green algae poisoning, a bacteria that can occur in dugouts and result in fatalities. But Dr. Althouse said that this usually results in liver damage, which wasn’t the case at Shamrock. She said officials also ruled out an infectious disease such as anthrax. In those cases, cows and calves usually exhibit bloating or bleeding.
The best theory investigators can come-up with is that the cattle somehow managed to get dehydrated. However, they offer a word of caution with that vague assessment.
Dr. Althouse added that, until the test results provide a definitive cause, it’s “way too soon” to lay blame on any person or group.
What do you think? These deaths are certainly alarming! What could be behind this?

Rumor has it that liberals are pushing the tale that “dinosaur flatulence” caused the great extinction 65 million years ago. Some are even spewing that original flatulence.
someone killing off the “food supply”
It’s going to get worse .
Probably disease related.
Kind of correlates with the massive refugee movement dontcha think!!
