Mass Elk Deaths in Wyoming May Be Tied To Seismic Activity
Mitch Battros
In ECTV’s investigation as to the cause of the removal, USGS representative Pam Benfield states “the 5.3 mag. event was not an earthquake; it was a mine-blast”. This was the reason given as to the removal from the USGS website. When contact was made by ECTV to the Wyoming State Geological Survey in Laramie, Wyoming, supervising representative Jim Case stated “we were told that a 5.3 earthquake had registered on Feb. 6th in Wyoming. We believe it was a glitch and have no further information to report". When I informed Mr. Case of Pam Benfield’s USGS/NEIC statement the event "was a mine blast", Mr. Case reacted with disbelief and stated "no, I don't think it was a mine blast. If it was an explosion, and measured 5.3, we're talking something on the scale of MOAB or a nuclear devise." He went onto to explain that it could have been a "mine collapse". However, a mine collapse would still not measure up to a 5. 3 mag, but more likely a 2.5 to 3.5 quake.
After the Feb. 6th event, three other seismic events in the central and western part of Wyoming occurred. This time however, the USGS was quick to confirm all three post events were in fact earthquakes. The last seismic event occurred Feb. 21st and originally measured 3.2 mag. Then within 24 hours was escalated to a 3.6 mag. On Feb. 22nd just one day later, two elk still alive but paralyzed were first found by hunters. The Wyoming Game and Fish Department has since discovered over 300 dead and dying elk by combing the area on foot, four wheelers and by airplane.
The latest reports state the Elk were first paralyzed. "They are alert, but they just have no strength," said Kent Schmidlin, Lander, Wyoming region wildlife supervisor. "When we find them, they are lying down on the ground but they can't get up, almost like they are paralyzed in their lower extremities." Veterinarians, toxicologist and pathologist have been called to the scene, and are analyzing about 10 of the carcasses to determine what caused their death. Poison, disease and other factors are being explored, with preliminary results expected early next week.
Mr. Schmidlin of the WGFD states “The elk were all in good condition and there was no evidence they were harassed or run until exhaustion. Mother Nature can't be blamed either.” Then what was the cause? What would “paralyze” wild animals? Could it be toxic fumes such as “sulfur”, which is known to kill animals and often occurs prior to a volcanic eruption? Is it radio active poising from an underground nuclear blast? Could it be methane gas fumes due to a mine-collapse?
Once again, far too many questions, and not enough answers. Are we witness to the first curb of a “Three-mile Island” cover-up? Is it just a coinsedence that “four” seismic events occurred days prior to now over 300 elk suddenly dying by unknown causes? And finally, is it underground military testing of bio-warfare which went terrible wrong?
Joe Nemick who is the lead wildlife biologist on the scene made the following hair raising statement: "Right now, we are asking folks to stay out of the area so we can do our investigation and find out what is killing these elk,". Several square miles have been closed to the public. At the time of this writing, I have not confirmed if Yellowstone Park Super-Volcano is to remain open.
