10,000 Cattle Die In Vietnam

An unusually harsh winter has been blamed in Vietnam by its Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development for a rash of 10,000 cattle and buffalo deaths, according to WSBT News:

"The government is attributing this death to the exceptionally cold winter, however, and not to any of the swirling theories explaining other recent instances of animal deaths."

Those other recent instances of mass animal deaths include birds falling from the sky in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Italy; thousand of fish in Maryland and Brazil, and hundreds of cows dying in Wisconsin.

However, despite the rough winter in Vietnam -- with temperatures -- cattle in other parts of the world, such as North Dakota, survive in far greater cold conditions.
