Hi Monica, former biology lab director here (though for non-science majors at Temple University Japan). I agree with most of your posts and love your politics, but I read through some of the comments to the rancher's YouTube, and one excellent point made by a zoologist (only self-identified) was that there was no bell curve for deaths of the weakest of the herd first. It was massive, and sudden, and as the YouTube rancher said ... there are other places much hotter that have not resulted in such complete and sudden die-offs. Taken as part of a deliberate gutting of supply lines and supplies for daily living all over the world, something smells a little fishy here. On the other hand, I just saw Harald's reference to dead parrots. I like that angle too. Cheers from Japan, and keep up the good fight.
Thank you. "Our side" is unfortunately prove to falling for what really are unfounded conspiracy theories. However the answer is just what you've done here, inject reality into the conversation, not censorship.
They've created in me a questioning monster. I don't believe anything they say, not one thing. And when something doesn't make sense, there is another explanation. Perhaps these cattle were the test group. Directed energy weapons? 5G? Electromagnetic waves? Who knows. But all dead at one time is highly suspect - and I'm not buying what they're selling. I know they want to supercharge climate change as the culprit everywhere we look, so this might just be an opening salvo. Remember this - liars gonna lie - and people will take money to further the lie. So there's that.
Having read "Hell West & Crooked" I knew they are ok as long as they have sufficient coolish water. I wasn't convinced about anthrax, so I checked a site run by the folk who should know a bit more about this than me!

"He says the scenario is similar to the impact of a natural disaster. While feedlots did everything possible to prepare and provide cattle relief, the climate conditions meant the cattle didn't have a chance to cool down, and in some cases, the internal temperature rose too much, which caused the rare losses.
“During these bouts of extreme heat, the cattle can't dissipate the heat at night because there's not night cooling," Thomson says. “And so this perfect storm, it's no different than a tornado hitting a cattle feeding facility or a derecho. We have these natural disasters.”"
We are living in an age where “conspiracy theories” aren’t just theories anymore. (Except I’m sticking with Evolution as still being a theory.) New World Order, Great Reset, population control, Climate Change, Critical Race Theory, Disney and Schools grooming kids to be LGBTQ+, Soros bought over 50 city district attorneys to turn America into a crime filled hellhole, Open borders, fentanyl deaths, etc etc. There is a lot of truth in all of the above!
so the powers that be should be performing autopsies to look for viral infection, or some other cause that would make 100+F temperatures kill cattle? guess their antibiotic injections and vaccines failed to protect them (not surprising.)
the NOAA temperature records from last June in the Wichita area aren't any lower than before those 10K head of cattle died and there was no similar mass die off last year. see the "warmest temperatures" image on this page: https://www.weather.gov/ict/June2021Climate
I have traveled through the feedlots in the past. You could smell them miles away. It was terrible. Although I like lower prices, I believe that we need to eliminate the feed lots, as well as the monocultural and GMO farming, and revitalize the soils by regenerative farming practices. The buying up of farming land by BG and other elites smells of monopoly of food supply coming soon. We need to make this buying up of farmland/ and vital waterways in such a large amount illegal. The courts ought to make those who have bought up monopoly amounts to be dispersed to those who have been wrongly discharged from the military for noncompliance of suicidal actions. Those ex-military should be trained in developing regenerative farms.
Separating grazing animals physically from grain production and sequestering them in feed lots to fatten them up on grain byproducts isn’t as efficient as it is made out to be. New research is showing that desertification can be stopped, and reversed even, managing grazing. The invention of chemical fertilizers is hailed as revolutionary, in a good way, but it has led to lazy agricultural practices that degrade soil and fill our waterways with toxic runoff that chokes everything with algae blooms and invasive plants. Bill Gates in encouraging a plant based diet supplemented with bugs seems to want to exacerbate this trend into turning everything into a wasteland (soil has been lost at an incredible rate).
There were huge numbers of buffalo here on unfenced pastures and the soil in the prairie was meters deep. How many dustbowls must we create before we recognize that grazing herds are vital? Fencing everything, from Africa to the midwest of the US and chopping down every ecosystem, cuts off migration routes of animals whose hooves and manure keep soils healthy and productive.
Droughts in the west are getting worse and worse as we pump water out of aquifers to use not in watering trees or other perennial plants, but to frack? Trees are a huge part of the water cycle. Cutting them down to replace them with tract homes and lawns, which are also watered with what should be drinking water, does not support a healthy water cycle and we are watching that happen, without recognizing that it’s not just carbon that influences climate change.
Massive poisoning was my first thought and the most likely in a scenario like this. Put it in the feed or water and voila the whole herd succumbs. It could have been accidental or intentional. Toxicology needs to be conducted along with any autopsies if any are conducted.
there's been talk about culling cattle here in ireland, where most land is grass/not suited for plant ag and excellent beef/lamb is being produced locally/sustainably.

p.s. Just watched another video from a farmer in Kansas agreeing with Monica's take on the cattle deaths. I stand corrected. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-9-qNahaU0

Lol, balance in everything. Even humour and death. Except Bill Gates hating. Can never be too much hatin on old Bill 😉😂🤣🤪
I disagree. Same happened to sheep. How do you predict a food shortage? You plan it.
I also read that 100 food factories have burned down since 2021.

I have this problem once in a while. All you can do is enjoy yourself, then make a correction or two. Sigh.

Bio Safety level 4 research in Manhattan Kansas. Near where this took place. Makes one wonder. Created 2015.

It's all Putin's fault!
