Should the people of Arkansas be alarmed by the outrageous number of fish and birds that have died in the last few days. At present the count is 5,000 blackbirds and 100,000 drum fish have died in the state. Officials state that although these instances happened 125 miles apart they are not related. Hmmm I am not sure that I want to believe them on this matter. 125 miles is nothing when we talk about ecosystems. Biologist say that the 5,000 black birds (one species only) died due to stress related issues. IE. fireworks or plans. This seems a little far fetched to me, Could there be some sort of testing or toxic dumping going on in the State? Who knows but I will watch to see if anything else happens in the state. However I for one will think twice before making my next visit to Memphis.
