I'm a little crabby this morning as you can see. I've been cutting firewood and the saw hasn't been idling properly, How can I destroy nature properly without a chainsaw?

Can someone point me to an article that supports the idea of 120 elk dropping dead over night from the same disease? I've always been led to believe that sick animals naturally seek solace rather than bunch together when they die, unless they have quite a sophisticated social structure ala Elephants?

This is scary! Really!
For the Elk no doubt but given the options of ET causing this or Hemorrhagic Disease I'd go for the latter as there seems to be no reports that the Elk were mutilated , plus its the right time of the year for Hemorrhagic Disease
Hemorragic Disease
As for the crop circle
It's not really a crop circle

No worries. Nothing to see here, folks. You could line up 30 separate strange coincidences like this all happening at the same time and place and these folks will happily explain why this is perfectly natural.

Because of the high fever associated with HD, during the first few days of the disease, dead or dying animals (especially deer) are often found near water (e.g., lying on or near the banks of ditches, creeks, lakes, rivers, etc.) lying on the cool moist soil.

IMO, I think this is the most plausible theory:
Farmer having trouble with elk feeding off his crop laces said crop with poison.
Elk get sick after feeding down at the "crop circle".
Elk take cover nearby in the treeline.
Elk die en masse.
Farmer #ting bricks right about now.
I hope he gets caught.

Yep, that's why I choose to lurk on this website instead of posting much nowdays.
For whatever reason many people just feel the need to find simple, mundane explanations for everything. I guess that's what happens when you live in a closed minded world full of fear and you depend on some authority figure to guide your every thought and idea.
ATS needs to change its motto to "Embrace Ignorance" instead of "Deny Ignorance"
