5000 dead black birds fall out of the sky

[Stylo]

This is just Condemned. The birds' brains are being scrambled!

 

[The Monkey]

More of this shit! 8000 doves have fallen down dead in a town in Italy.

where does it say 8000? article mentions 1000 with a few hundred more that day it was reported

Sweden's biggest newspaper says it was 8000. Source: http://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/article8380146.ab. Title says "8 000 pidgeons fell from the sky".
They list the reasons as either poisoning or lack of oxygen.

Ok so we can obviously rule out the stupid explanation of the birds getting disoriented and smashing into building tree's etc..wtf is going on?

 

[DEATH eVADER]

I would be very sad if the Bats that fly behind my house during the twilight hours of summer were to be the next victims

 

[Cpt Tenacious]

This is seriously getting odd.

 

[Novus]

This is seriously getting odd.

Tens of thousands of crabs washed up on the shore near me on Wednesday. Reports blame cold weather but this is really strange with all the other animal deaths.

Got a news article you can link?

National Geographic tries to downplay it.

"I hope we can raise public awareness of what impact man-made structures can have on other species. How many migratory warblers do you want to kill just to get better cell phone reception?"

UM, ALL OF THEM

Seriously though. This article is plausible, but still... these kills are happening quite regularly all of a sudden. I've been on reddit for three years, and if these were such a regular yearly occurrence you'd think I would have come across at least one "oh my god all these birds fell dead on my street last night!" submission with five upvotes. ONE. But no, there's no mention of these kind of events until specifically this winter.

 

[Stylo]

No matter how it arrives, death appears to be very much a fact of life for birds.

Birds are not invincible? :|

Builderburg owned media sees opportunity to push eco-facist propaganda and yet again blame humans as a whole rather than themselves for their...

...waitforit...






...STARLICIDE.

loljks, I have no idea yet. Though like I was saying this is another good chance for them to pipe up and opt to cull humanity to save Earth, thirty years or so we were scared the world was going to freeze, five years or so we were afraid the world was going to boil - As fun as it is to jump to dramatic conclusions, though, it's most likely just another case of a the approve/disapprove guy getting bribed enough to overlook the fact some corporate-sponsered incesticide kills birds too.

It's happened to bees, at least.

Check this out, though:

Pretty bird...can you say pretty bird...yeah...pretty bird.

IF you don't know what thats from then make like a bird and die.

No, they're right about this. A real statistical analysis is in order here. Not just hand-waving. Someone needs to compile data on bird deaths and calculate using NUMBERS whether there's actually been a statistically significant increase over the past month.

 

[Stylo]

I blame the increased rates of incest going on in the avian community. Inbreds! (Inbirds)

 

[McGooTheWise]

Lets make a death row inmate eat one of the dead birds, and see if he turns into a zombie. Then we'll know. Then we'll get to kill a zombie. Awesome?

This thread totally needs renaming to: The Birds and The Bees.

You bring up a very interesting point. Why aren't deathrow inmates who have absolutely 0 chance of being rehabilitated or released not being used for scientific research? I mean there are several moral issues to think about but look at it this way. You'd be saving the state money, they have taken someones life without any regard for the victim and their family and friends and you'd be doing a service to the rest of the world by experimenting on humans in hopes of coming out with a cure of incurable diseases.

How often have you put the saving of money over people's lives?

How can we determine they have 0 chance of rehabilitation?

What if the person was actually innocent, wrong place at the wrong time?

Your collectivist philosophy would be a great addition to the Buillderburg Group.

Well I'm not talking about taking any random death row inmate but the one's who are actually proven to be the killers. Now that I think about it I wouldn't really condone it. I think it WOULD be beneficial in helping with the research of deadly diseases but it sort of is cruel whether they are stone cold murders or not. My mind might change if I had a close relationship with the victim though.

 

[McGooTheWise]

Well, I was going to say a manic depressive alcoholic schizophrenic sociopath, but death row inmate seemed to sum it up quicker.

There are death row inmates who haven't been proven to be killers?

There are some cases. Have you watched 14 Days in May?
