USDA killing birds...

The bird die-offs at the beginning of this year, as well as last year, had people wondering what was going on. Some people saw this phenomenon as another sign of the End Times. There are theories and "official" explanations, but a resent article in Earth-issues.com points the spotlight on the USDA and some irresponsible farmers. It appears that the USDA kills off animals routinely whenever they feel it necessary, claiming that this is done for the benefit of the human population. The Earth-issues article wonders what other overpopulated species the government might consider cropping, humans included.

Other animals besides birds have died in mega amounts of  mysterious causes around the world, including fish, bees, whales, and dolphins. The USDA actions may account for some die-offs, but the remainder of the mega-deaths still remains a mystery.
