I’m about to head to bed, but before I call it a day, I thought I would post up a bit about article that is one of the strangest news pieces I’ve read in a very long time.

The slightly disturbing images show that something of a cow graveyard is forming, and it’s interesting no matter what the reason for their apparent suicides. Ultimately, I suppose, it comes down to one of two things: they either jumped on their own accord, or, somehow, they felt forced to do so. The article mentions that there are no more large predators around the Alps to clear the bodies – but what if there are? What if there is something so ferocious that it’s scaring scores of cows to death?

I wonder if that scientist has already hatched his dinosaur from chicken eggs? More likely they will chalk it up to climate change somehow. Perhaps the new, hot air is meddling with their brains and confusing them, driving them mad.

Whatever the reason, it’s more than slightly strange. And a little disturbing, too.
