West Coast Fukushima Die-Off Expands

This breaking story from ENENews compares the West Coast die off of mammals, birds and reptiles from various diseases to a 'sci-fi thriller' with hemorrhagic diseases and 'sylvatic plagues' striking creatures of many varieties across the Western USA. Though the story also states that 'studies are now underway to find out why', those who have been paying attention know exactly what the underlying ultimate cause is of what is now happening to the creatures on our planet. 3 video reports also below.


Die-offs of mammals, birds, reptiles in Western U.S. — “So many diseases afflicting such a wide variety of animals” — Names out of sci-fi thriller: hemorrhagic disease, sylvatic plague — Studies now underway to find out why (VIDEO)


Billings Gazette, Nov. 18, 2013: Jared Jansen [...] said, he and his father, Mike, have seen up to 100 dead deer at a time along the Musselshell River. [...] die-offs have whittled the once hardy deer herds down to a handful [...] “I’ve only seen three does this year. [...] It used to be when I was haying along the river, early in the morning, I’d see 200 to 500 head in the meadows.” [...] The names sound like something out of a science fiction thriller: epizootic hemorrhagic disease, sylvatic plague, bluetongue, brucellosis, chytrid, chronic wasting disease [...] Yet the all-too-real afflictions threaten to reduce the populations of wild mammals, birds and reptiles across Montana, Wyoming and other regions [...] “There is a general consensus among scientists that we are seeing more disease,” said Jonathan Sleeman, director of the U.S. Geological Survey’s National Wildlife Health Center in Madison, Wis. [...] so many diseases afflicting such a wide variety of animals [...] A study is being conducted in northwestern Montana to examine the possible causes [...]


Independent Record, Oct. 31, 2013: What’s happening to all the moose? Moose in the northern United States are dying in what scientists say may be the start of climate shock [...] The die-off is most dire in Minnesota, where ecologists say moose could be gone within a decade. [...] Concerns have prompted a 10-year study of moose in Montana [...] It’s not just in Montana, either. [...] An aerial survey of moose in northeastern Minnesota earlier this year showed a 52 percent drop in population since 2010, which prompted the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources to completely call off the 2013 moose hunting season [...] In various regions of British Columbia [Canada], populations have declined anywhere from 20 to 70 percent in recent years. [...]


Dennis Murray, a population ecologist at Trent University in Canada: “The fact that you’ve got different proximate causes killing off the moose suggests there’s an underlying ultimate cause.”
