Millions dead fish in Brazil, dead crabs in Brazil & birds fall in Texas

Thousands of dead crabs have washed up along the Kent coast – the latest in a series of bizarre animal deaths sweeping the world.

More than 40,000 Devil crabs – also known as Velvet swimming crabs – were found strewn along beaches in Thanet along with dead starfish, lobsters, sponges and anemones.

Experts believe the crabs died from hypothermia after the UK’s coldest December in 120 years.

The crab deaths are the latest in a series of mass animal deaths all around the world.

Millions of dead fish wash up on the coast of Brazil

Brazil is the first Latin American country to be hit by the bizarre wave of mass animal deaths in the world.  Reports by the Federation of Fishermen of Paraná, Paranaguá indicate that at least one hundred tons of fish (sardine, croaker and catfish) have turned up dead since last Thursday, off the coast of Paraná.

On Sunday, representatives from the Environmental Institute of Paraná (IAP), the Secretary of State for the Environment and Water Resources (SEMA), took samples to try to figure out what might be killing the fish in such a large scale. A report will be released later today.  No one has made a connection to these animals death and the thousands of dead birds in Arkansas.

Between Paranaguá and Guaraqueçaba regions, an estimate of 2,800 fishermen depend on the daily seafood.

“On Thursday we began to realize there were lots of dead fish. Only one community came to bury 15 tons. We are experiencing a very sad situation on the coast, ” said a local.

    “Many things can happen that we have no current knowledge of.”

    Which is precisely why speculation serves no purpose other than wish fulfillment. It makes no sense to single out magnetic pole flipping or any other possibility without evidence. The conspiracy theory crowd has a habit of filling in explanatory gaps with baseless conjecture. And frankly, the belief that the lack of an explanation implies an explanation isn’t worthy of respect.

    So any speculation regarding the Earth and its inhabitants, whether it’s humans or animals, automatically means you’re a crazy conspiracy theorist? Remember how little documentation we have on this planet in comparison to its age. Many things can happen that we have no current knowledge of.
