This guy makes too much sense, it's not even funny anymore. Guy most have an IQ of at least 140:
Ok I know that all of you don?t know what?s going on down here. I live in Arkansas about two hours away. There were a lot of storms that night, the temp dropped very fast and people were shooting off fireworks. The birds could have been scared into flying at night. With this species of bird when one fly?s they all fly its how they feel safe.
its part of their natural defense system to flock together in flight. These birds do not normally fly at night, and could have flown into an extremely cold patch of air being pushed by strong winds and died of hypothermia. It wouldn?t take long for such a small animal to die in such a manor. And the trauma to all the vital organs was caused by the animal reaching its terminal velocity as it fell to earth and smashed into the ground and if you watch the news clips at 24sec and 1min04sec on CNNS report you will see that there is a common sparrow dead as well.
Although it may only be a few here and there, and not as many as the red winged black bird it still means that it did not happen to just one species of bird but all birds flying in that particular area at that particular time. As for the fish there are certain breeds of fish that get together and stay in large schools. Whatever happens to one happens to them all. Drum is such a fish. This breed of fish is also very sensitive to temperature; they all could of been spending too much time swimming near factories? waste water run off.
There are many canning factories that pour non-toxic vegetable juice leftovers into the river and because its warmer then the rest of the water in the river schools of fish congregate there to stay warm. And if the factory shuts down for the holidays that warm water immediately stops pouring into the river, and if the fish do not have ample time go get used to the colder water they can go into shock and die. That?s why they tell you to leave a new fish in the bag and put the whole bag fish and all in the tank for about two or more hours so the fish can slowly get used to the new temperature or it will die. The fish could have died right after a holiday plant shut down. Oh and the drum are an invasive species to Arkansas and are not able to adapt to the extreme change in temp that other native fish are able to do.
And we are not talking about one school from one pipe here, there are five of these plants that I know of and fish by that are dumping this heated water into the river with five huge two foot wide pipes spewing this green waste water that comes from boiling vegetables so they can be canned. This happens every year, but as invasive species often do, they over populate and grow in numbers. And some fish are more sensitive to the heat and the cold. Not all of the fish die every year though do to underwater pipelines that stay warm 24/7. If you lived in this area and fished these waters you would know this. So it is not you fault to assume that I am wrong. The Arkansas fish and game department is only looking at this so closely because some how it has made national new this year and they would look very lazy and stupid if they did nothing with every one looking at them.
We have a drum die off every year. It is completely normal they just happened to have had a very good breeding season year. This explains why there was such a large number of fish found. I?m glad so many of them died this winter. It just means that the natural species will have a better chance at feeding and breeding so there will be more of the native fish this coming year to catch and enjoy. I hope this has helped some people relax but if you choose to believe the hype about us Arkansans like one well informed gentleman said, it did happen in Arkansas and as every one knows we are all inbred, bestiality freaks. We probably all prolly dun @#$%ED?em all ta deaf. Yee haw I dernt know hows all our sheeps have lased so long!! Durka dur yall!! Its not a poison or secret chemical or aliens. we just be screw?n stuff to death down here. lol
