10,000 Cattle Dead In Vietnam: Cows, Buffalo Part Of Mass Die-Off

In the latest of a string of mass animal deaths, 10,000 cows and buffalo have died in Vietnam.

Vietnam's Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development confirmed the news this week that more than 10,000 cows and buffalos died nationwide due to harsh weather conditions.

Cattle have been dying throughout Vietnam, which has had a particularly intense winter. The northern mountainous province of Cao Bang was hardest hit with 2,260 dead cattle, per Thanh Nien News. Some have said the number of total dead cattle may be as high as 13,000.

Mass animal deaths have been in the news quite a bit lately. Hundreds of birds were found dead in South Dakota early this week, and before that birds were found dead in Italy and birds fell from the sky in Arkansas, among other incidents.

Some of the mass die-offs have been explained - for instance, indigestion is thought to be the cause in Italy and the U.S. government has admitted involvement in the South Dakota case. But others remain up for debate.

38,000 DEAD CATTLE at last report! They are still sticking with "they froze to death" story. But now get this kicker... the lowest temp was in the 40s. Yep, cattle now drop dead frozen from temps well above freezing!

38,000 Dead Cattle and Another Load of BULL! MSM are silent and so is Gov... screams the sound of silence and so out of character for the hype-TV. I am not buy that excuse anymore than the one that says 1000 birds overate to death!
I am still sticking with my

It is POISONING! Someone needs to repent but it isn't the innocent People! It's the Gov that plays like they are God.
The last count is 38,000 dead cattle... these poor people are also sick and now many will starve to death and the gov is offering them $5 for a dead cattle... oh please!

I am sure there will be a lot of people downplay this event . Much like global warming and climate change . So little action yet the earth is a mess . Ice melting at an alarming rate . Cold air in north America could be coldest winter in 25 years for east and south east united states . Animals having problems . this is not a problem now . But in 70 years or more . this could be earth of major problems . Magnetic fields can not be corrected over night

I like how suddenly it seems taboo for the media to mention the possibility of global warming, considering the extreme floods and droughts we've seen over the last year. Of course it's not a definitive link, but geez, could it not be just a little bit related here?

This is major problems . Scientific problems are going on . weather changes . North America under a major cooling . Its a real problem . I think this has something with the earths rotation . Yet it also needs to be took with a grain of salt . Until we know what is going on .

HAARP

They are using a weapon, I can't possibly explain it with anything else, I am actually beginning to believe it has to be this. Whatever is happening it seems to attack food and the poor.

Can we see through the fluoride??

Silly statements like that are so un scientific . You are not looking at whats going on ? or do you just hate bad news ? so you run to a tin foil story ?

[Jordan Brauer]

I do not think its HAARP . I think it has something to do with the rotation of earths magnetic field .

This is extremely serious and climate change should be taken seriously if we all want to survive. This is crazy.

Time to get serious. Do everything YOU can to stop catastrophic climate change. Turn down that thermostat! Put on an extra sweater and see how low you can go. Stop eating meat. We CAN change this. We just have to be willing to be MILDLY inconvenienced.

Seems like there is a massive extinction in the making.

There sure is a mass extinction underway, but it's not in the making, it's been going on for decades.

unless its posted how many cattle die their every year or during harsh winters, there is really no way to really understand the situation. reporters are sensationalizing and not doing enough research and reporting.

Just google "vietnamese cattle" and you'll find stories in Asian media. They seem to think it's serious and unsual enough.

Well, gee, that settles it then, since "Asian media" never sensationalize anything.

It could be poision, or maybe it has something to do with the earth's magnetic fields being in flux.
