The town of Beebe, Arkansas suffered an eerie occurrence on New Year’s Eve last weekend: over 5,000 lifeless bird tragically fell from the sky. Impossibly, things appear to have gotten stranger in rural Arkansas as reports have surfaced of over 100,000 drum fish suddenly dying off roughly 100 miles west of the massive bird die-off.

As was reported earlier, an AP interview with an expert affiliated with the state’s Livestock and Poultry Commission suggested that the birds may have died as a result of “lightning or high-altitude hail.” Another possibility for the bird die-off? New Year’s Eve fireworks may have startled the birds so severely, that they died from stress.

But neither of these reasons would account for the massive fish die-off. According to the Associated Press report:

An Arkansas Game and Fish Commission spokesman says dead drum fish now cover a 20-mile section of the Arkansas River near Ozark.

Seven teams from the state agency visited the affected portion of the river Friday. Commission spokesman Keith Stephens says an official estimate of how many fish have died is expected on Monday, but he tells the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette that the number is likely in the hundreds of thousands.

The commission determined the fish died in the river from a dam near Ozark to a bridge along State Highway 109 near Clarksville.

Stephens says some of the live drum fish were sick and will be sent to a lab at the University of Arkansas-Pine Bluff for testing.

Drum fish are bottom feeders that eat other fish and insects.

These events demonstrate that there are far too many fish and birds who can’t afford health care.

Fireworks killed those fish, just like that government “expert” said about the birds.

They swam under a fireworks display and it stressed them out so much that they just up and died.

Can I be a government expert now?

There are many things in this world that cannot be explained by science or reason. Could have been poison, fireworks, pollution, or some other man-made reason. But, it also could be explained in biblical functionings as well.

That’s odd. You are a joke that has been used over a thousand times and your comments are still a riot!

Yes, of course! Obviously- it’s written all over this.

Once again, it’s best to go with our gut feeling. That way we can all be experts.

If it was pollution, regarding the fish, it would have killed other bottom feeding species such as some carp and catfish.

My guess is they were all democrat fish and they finally heard the results of Nov 2, it was a mass suicide.

Must be global warming, this couldn’t be contaminated water or anything else, has to be global warming. My selection bias tells me so.

Pretty bizarre, especially the two so close together.

There was an incident on the coast of Maine years ago where a school of Tuna chased a massive school of smaller fish into a cove. The smaller fish quickly used up the available oxygen abd died by the thousands creating a massic stink fest in a small MAine tourist town. It will be interesting to see the outcome of the investigation in thesetwo incidents.

Lightning strikes the water everyday and kills hundreds of thousands of fish everyday. Happens all the time, along with fireworks killing birds every 4th of July.
Will someone in the Arkansas Fish & Game Dept. please hurry up and test the water that the gov’t experts are drinking? It seems to cause brain damage in humans along with killing fish and birds…..

On the bright side, this is really good news for Arkansas cats! Hope the virus and poison theories are wrong of course….

Wow the home schooled sect (aka Jesus Camp Crew) are exhibiting their idiocy here. Did “food-chain” ever come up in those home school indoctrinations? I doubt it.

Who needs regulations? The chemical plants up river had NOTHING to do with it. Their waste just evaporates. LOL. I say this because of course, the morons that believe that a waste or chemical company wouldn’t do such a thing – should have witnessed “60 Minutes” last night on Glaxico and their prescription drugs. If they can get away with something they will – and that’s why Republicorp wants more “deregulations/government” – so that they can.

Alrighty then Mr. Smartypants, why hasn’t their been a massive die off of liberals, commies, socialists, fascists, progressives, entitlement scum, and criminal aliens? I guess that just shoots your theory full of holes, doesn’t it?

Seriously folks, this is a HUGE coincidence.

Uhhh… wouldn’t there be burn marks on the birds if they were hit by lightning?

The fish heard about the bird deaths and immediately succumbed to grief.

Most chemical waste isn’t going to kill the drum fish and leave the bass and catfish unaffected. If you check the local news (http://www.todaysthv.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=136401&provider=top )you can find the details… Most responsible companies, and those with enough brains to make chemicals, will realize that dumping waste directly into a waterway, will 100% result in someone noticing, getting caught, and a huge fine, along with jail time. It’s not worth the risk for even someone like Dick Cheney. Chemical waste can be traced if there is a reason to, and there usually is a small list of suspects.
Not that there aren’t evil companies, there are, but they are rare and not likely to be the cause of the fish death this time.

Even the birds and fish fear John Boehner’s leadership.

You know what Fox! Who are you to say that this has nothing to do with religion! Even if it didn’t, why would you say that, just because you have different views on things. That doesn’t mean you go and insult! When all the religion believing people are in heaven and you are burning in Hell, then tell me what your view are!
