Animal Deaths Around the World...End Of Days?

As u may know, many news sites are reporting the strange occurrence of massive amounts of animals turning up dead. Reports of flocks of birds, fish, crabs and other wild life turning up dead for no apparent reason.
I really don't feel like explaining ALL the stories, so I will provide some links below....
But my real reason for this article is the incredible amount of foil heads and conspiracy nuts out there who swear that this is a sign the world is coming to an end....Really????
I mean yeh, that's some weird shit...if I woke up and there was 10,000 birds laying dead on my front lawn and all over my neighborhood, imma freak the fuck out....but I'm not going to run down main street with a bell and a sandwich board sign yelling out "The End Is Near!"
Let's face it, ever since the begining of time we have been fascinated with the end of time.
Remember the world was supposed to end in 2000?? Shoot Prince even wrote a song about it!! And look...we still here....go figure.
I blame the internet, tv, movies and the media for all this end of world stuff....form the movie 2012, all the prophecy and nostrils TV shows and news reports on "strange occurrences" someone somewhere is banking off this craze.
I mean shoot....u really think the Mayans had such a vast and in depth knowledge of the universe they could for see the end, but decide not to tell anyone what to do about it?? And if they was so smart.....why are they an extinct race?? Hhhmmm???
But on the other hand....if u believe the hype and follow all the "predictions" and book of revelation stuff..
Floods, famine, earthquakes and tens of thousands of dead fish and birds does kinda look like we should be stock piling canned good and readying out shot guns and chainsaws for the impending zombie invasion.
Then we have the theory that its the government doing all this. Now the government (See: the man, George Bush, CIA, FBI) has ben blamed for everything from the Haiti Earthquake to the Teletubbies (damn them!!!!)
If this is what u believe, that government tests have generated tons of black bird corpses....tell me, what the fuck is the government testing?! And why they testing it on birds, fish and crabs? What is their ultimate goal?? And why are they biding their time?? Shoot if everyone is expecting 2012....why not do what ever it is they plan on doing in 2011??

Really I don't know, it could be a number of things that are causing this, and everyone gonna have they opinion and theories...but u need to remember we live in the real world, not in a Peter Jackson movie.

That's my opinion....what's yours?
