Latest Wyo elk die off

[rocketman]

From the Rocky Mt News today Tuesday 289 elk have died. Of the 4
elk taken alive to Laramie 3 have died and 1 seems to be getting
better. There are horses cattle and antelope in the immediate
area that are fine. Less than 4 in of snow is on the ground
and chasing by 4 wheelers and snowmobiles has been ruled out.
Wolves also have been ruled out as well as toxins in the water.
Officials still feel that toxins are the most likely cause be
it natural or manmade.

On my way home from work last night I was flipping through the stations on the radio and came across that guy George that took over for Art Bell on Coast to Coast. He had some guy on there talking about the elk kill-off. It was pretty interesting. They had a few ideas of what it could be. They where leaning towards some kind of biological weapon. I guess the way that the elk have been acting is similar to a nerve agent. I don't know enough about what is going on up there to agree or not but it was pretty interesting. Did anyone else catch it?

The elk are the only animal that has been affected in the area. There are horses, cattle, deer, antelope and other small game that are located in the area and have been unaffected so far. I'd rule out a biological weapon. Course I'd rule out anything that an Art Bell type of show would broadcast. Could it be aliens? now theres a thought.............
