Situation Update No. 1
On 17.01.2011 at 09:58 GMT+2
Up to 200 cows have mysteriously been found dead in Wisconsin in the
latest mass animal death. Dozens of birds were found dead in Romania
last week, 300 grackles dropped from the sky in Alabama and thousands
of fish have been discovered dead in Maryland. However, vets believe
the cows were wiped out by an infectious disease - although the exact
cause remains unknown and samples were being sent to laboratories for
testing. The owner of the cattle found his animals dead in Stockton,
Wisconsin, and immediately alerted police. It was thought they may
have had a respiratory condition known as red nose - infectious bovine
rhinotracheitis - or Bovine Virus Diarrhea. Police said there is no
risk of any illness spreading to other animals or humans after the
farmer made the grim discovery on Friday. Conspiracy theorists are
likely to seize on the latest mass animal deaths which have been
reported round the world since New Year's Eve. It has been suggested
that government experiments are to blame - or the apocalypse is
imminent. However, scientists insist all the incidents have rational
explanations. Unexplained deaths have been reported in Sweden, the
U.S., Great Britain and New Zealand. IBR - or infectious bovine
rhinotracheitis - which the animals are thought to have had is a
contagious virus that usually occurs in the animal's windpipe. It will
spread quickly to cattle of all ages if they have not been vaccinated.

(BTW, i ljudi masovno umiru, ali tad je rijec o nekoj vec poznatoj
situaciji i poznatim nacinima lijecenja - zato je dobro biti oprezan)
