2013 - OCT - Animal Die-Offs

Useful link for tracking mass animal deaths:
 
 



2013-10-31 - Sperm whale beaches, dying, euthanized, at Madeira Beach (Florida):
http://www.abcactionnews.com/dpp/news/region_south_pinellas/madeira_beach/whale-found-aground-beached-whale-off-madeira-beach

Quote: "A NOAA Fisheries spokeswoman said sperm whales are a deep water species and should not be here.  She said the fact that it beached itself is a sign that something was seriously wrong. The whale was described as being in very bad shape, basically skin and bones."

Note: Another deepwater species dying. As mentioned, hydrogen sulfide and methane are rising from the ocean floors, so deepwater species are getting hit hard, like the rare oarfish that recently bubbled up dead off the coast of California...

2013-10-29 - Thousands of fish wash ashore dead at Curtis Island (Australia):

2013-10-28 - Sixteen mute swans die at Radipole Lake in coastal Weymouth (Britain):
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=BH-20131030-41455-GBR

Quote: "About 16 mute swans have died of a 'mystery' illness at a wetland reserve in Dorset, the RSPB has said. The charity said 'half the herd' at Radipole Lake in Weymouth had been affected since September."

2013-10-26 - Panther found dead in Ooty (India), near Aramby Reserved Forest:
http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/panther-found-dead-in-oooty/article5277159.ece

Note: A man, 51, was just found dead in a channel near Ooty Lake too, as mentioned in the 2013-10-23 update...

2013-10-26 - Thousands of fish found dead in Miralam Tank in the old city of Hyderabad (India):
http://www.siasat.com/english/news/fishes-miralam-tank-found-dead

Note: India is a peninsula nation surrounded on three sides by ocean, so it's no great surprise that people and animals are mysteriously dying there. It's kinda like a larger version of Florida, and animals and people are mysteriously dying in Florida too...

2013-10-25 - Four sambar deer drop dead in 2 days at Dalma Wildlife Sanctuary (India):
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=BH-20131026-41415-IND

2013-10-20 - Young rhino drops dead at zoo in Montgomery (Alabama):
http://www.abc22now.com/template/inews_wire/wires.regional.oh/28f9f4d3-www.abc22now.com.shtml

Quote: "Montgomery Zoo spokeswoman Sarah McKemey tells The Montgomery Advertiser that nothing obvious was wrong with the rhinoceros before his death. She said the death was 'sudden and unexpected.'"

Note: Kinda like all the people dying suddenly and unexpectedly...

2013-10-19 - Another rare deepwater oarfish found dead in California:
http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/10/19/21041529-second-rare-oarfish-washes-up-in-southern-california
http://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2013/10/19/Second-large-oarfish-found-dead-in-California/UPI-86931382236861/

Note: Oarfish are like the 'canaries in the coal mine' for the deep ocean. The chemocline may be rising off the coast of California, which will suffocate fish starting from the deepest-dwelling fish, like these. As the chemocline reaches the surface, which will happen in pockets here and there and not everywhere at once, hydrogen sulfide and methane will belch into the atmosphere. It was just a little while ago that hydrogen sulfide blew over Santa Fe Springs (California), as mentioned in the 2013-10-14 update. Earlier this year a smell hit Santa Monica (California), blamed on a 'naturally occurring methane release' in Santa Monica Bay, as mentioned in the 2013-03-03 update. The thing is, methane is odorless, so that's not what the people there smelled. They probably smelled hydrogen sulfide in that event too, and that was the same thing: the chemocline rising to the surface and releasing accumulated methane and hydrogen sulfide from the depths. Yes, this process is 'naturally occurring' in the sense that when the oceans warm up, this is the result. This is the ancient extinction event that is upon us now, and it's only going to get worse. Calling it 'naturally occurring' doesn't make it survivable...

2013-10-18 - Fish dying in lake near Englewood in coastal Sarasota County (Florida):
http://www.mysuncoast.com/news/south_newsroom/fish-kill-strikes-englewood-lake/article_46c84f7e-3842-11e3-ae96-0019bb30f31a.html

http://www.castanet.net/news/World/100558/5-meter-long-sea-creature-body-found

2013-10-16 - Fish kill reported at Lake Sebu in South Cotabato (Philippine Islands):
http://www.mindanews.com/top-stories/2013/10/16/fishkill-hits-lake-sebu-anew/

Quote: "It occurs when cold rainwater, which is heavier than warm water, settles at the abyssal zone of the lake. This causes the water upturn or upwelling of warm water carrying silts, sediments, and gases such as hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, sulfur and methane gas produced by the decomposing organic matter such as fish feeds..."

Note: That's the chemocline rising abruptly to the surface, smothering fish and releasing hydrogen sulfide into the air. That just happened in July in the Inner Harbor in coastal Baltimore (Maryland) too, as mentioned in the 2013-07-18 update. (And now peoples' corpses are being found in the Inner Harbor, which is no coincidence.) As this process hits more areas, more hydrogen sulfide will be released into the atmosphere. This is the ancient extinction event that is now upon us...

Quote: "Beachgoers in the Spanish community of Cantabria were astonished Tuesday when they stumbled onto the carcass of a giant squid that had washed ashore almost fully intact. The deep-sea denizen — the fabled and mysterious Architeuthis Dux — measured 30 feet and weighed nearly 400 pounds."

2013-10-03 - Dogs dying in Ann Arbor (Michigan), owners sickening too:
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=BH-20131004-41147-USA

Quote: "This is the first time the virus has been seen in metro Detroit and it's quickly killing dogs. 'Usually within about 12 to 24 hours of it starting,' said Dr. Lindsay Ruland of the Emergency Veterinary Hospital in Ann Arbor. Dr. Ruland said Brutus and other dogs with the unknown virus are showing flu like symptoms. 'Severe abdominal pain, often times bloody diarrhea, vomiting, lethargy,' she continued."

Quote: "How the disease is transmitted is unknown. But canines with the virus appear to also have owners who are sick. 'Traditionally we don't pass viruses to our pets. This year, I think that there is potential that we are passing it to our pets,' said Dr. Ruland. Sure enough, Pederson said she has not been feeling well since Sunday."

Note: They're assuming this is a virus. Assuming anything is a mistake and is bad science. Hydrogen sulfide poisoning can cause all of those symptoms and would also explain why the owners are getting sick too; if the cause is environmental then the dog and owner share the environment, although dogs sniff along the ground more than humans, and hydrogen sulfide is a heavier-than-air gas. And sure enough, the dogs are getting sicker than the owners. Dogs also usually weigh less than their owners, so there's less of them to poison. That area is near Lake St. Clair, the Detroit River, and Lake Erie. Dogs are also now dying in Ohio, which is also near Lake Erie. Lake Erie has had a dead zone problem for years. Of course it's not just dogs and people dying, but also birds, bats, fish, manatees, dolphins, whales, cats, bees, deer, sheep, elk, antelope, bumblebees, etc. What do they all have in common? The atmosphere and water. They call these planetary extinction events 'MASS extinction events' for a reason...
