Mysterious deaths of animals, fish and birds around the world...

This is a healthy pelican – quite beautiful. Unfortunately, very sick pelicans are falling out of the sky these days. It’s one of many recent alarming indicators from our fellow creatures that things are seriously wrong.

Hundreds of sick pelicans have fallen to the ground from Mexico to Oregon, smashing into cars, boats and beaches, and experts are baffled. Authorities have ruled out domoic acid poisoning, which has affected wildlife before. It’s nothing short of a mystery. Surviving pelicans have been found in yards and on roads, disoriented and weak. So far, experts think the cause could be anything from unknown poison contamination to exposure to the toxic run-off from the recent Southern California fires to malnutrition due to evaporating fish stocks.

Though the exact cause is a mystery, it’s almost certainly due to human impact. And, it’s only the most recent case in a slew of disturbing mass animal deaths around the world.

Mysterious deaths of animals, fish and birds around the world...

How much more of a wake up call do we need? Theres something very wrong and we are definitely to blame for it.
The Manatees were actually on the news this last week and its because they're freezing to death. The Manatees usually go up to an area close to the FPL nuclear plant to get to warmer water for winter, but some jackass has bought up a large chunk of the Myakka River and built a dam, denying the wild Manatees access to the warmer water.
The state had to get a court order to get the dam opened.

thats awful
