A fourth of the Earth BEWARE! Animals will Attack.
...And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.” (Revelation 6:7-8)
~~~
‘It’s an unbelievable event which has been described as one of the most important whale sightings ever,’ said Dr Aviad Scheinin, chairman of the Israel Marine Mammal Research and Assistance Center which identified the creature.
A red heifer will be required to be used in the process of purification described in the book of Numbers. In May 1997 the first Red Heifer was born in 2000 years. Another red Heifer was born in Israel in March of 2002.
What about Attacks?
~ Here are some of the most recent, and most shocking ~
Florida wildlife officials say a 10-foot alligator bit off a man's hand while he was swimming in a canal with friends.
Ferraro says Delano was swimming with three friends around 9:30 p.m. Sunday when the alligator attacked.

Are Elephant attacks on the rise? It seems so!
The two have had near-daily contact ever since, creating an unusually tight bond. After backing away from the injured Mr. RedFox, the elephant went into a crouching position, not like a tail-wagging dog but like an animal waiting for a response...
~~~
“While eight of them managed to run to safety, a 60-year-old tourist from Holland was trampled by the elephant and later it dragged the body inside the forest,”
After another British tourist was killed on his honeymoon in Kenya, questions have been raised to whether or not elephants are retaliating or if something else is underlying this disturbing trend.
~~~
Now, what about our fury friends?
LAKELAND, Fla. — Animal control officers hope to trap a pack of raccoons that mauled a 74-year-old woman. Five raccoons surrounded and attacked her Sunday. She was taken to a hospital with extensive cuts from her neck to her legs. "We're not talking about a lot of little bites here," Sheriff Grady Judd said. "She was filleted."
~~~
And get this one!
An Eagle Ray has killed a 55-year-old Michigan woman on a boat near Marathon Key, Florida. The woman was boating with her family when the ray - a species which grows to 500 pounds and sports a ten-foot wingspan - leaped from the water and reportedly struck her in the neck with its barbed tail.

Attack by birds on humans are on the increase.

Ok, so the more I fill this thread in the more I'm thinking I shouldn't post it in Skunk Works where it seems to naturally fit! ~ Maybe I should move it to 2012! Or Predictions!peace
Animals are a resource much like oil and coal and we should use them as such and stop trying to attach human emotions and spirit to them.
I just bet Karlo and Moots are hatching an evil plan!
No more tub sharing with Karlo!
Did you see that! I swear Ringo went for me right then!

"I've avoided being boxed by a kangaroo, nibbled by a shark and bitten by a spider or a snake - but then in my final few days on Hamilton Island I fell foul of a minuscule little creature known as an Irukandji,"
The jellyfish - which struck as he descended from a jet-ski - is virtually invisible to the naked eye and can be deadly - in 2002 two tourists died after being stung.

Sorry not a fan of Animal rights am more for human rights. The only rights Animals should have is the right not to be unnecessarily subjected to pain other than that none. Animals as far as i am concerned are a human resource that we can use as we please, be it for food, fuel, medical/scientific testing or even entertainment. Animals are a resource much like oil and coal and we should use them as such and stop trying to attach human emotions and spirit to them.

Riiight... because animal attacks never happen anywhere, ever.
The real killer will be the bugs, they far far outnumber us and even with as straight as I shoot, they are hard to hit, especially when there are tens or hundreds of thousands of them.
The real killer will be the bugs,
Billions of "crazy ants" are munching their way through Gulf Coast counties in Florida and Texas, the Wall Street Journal reports. The tiny insects, believed to have originated in the Caribbean, happily make their homes in human dwellings and are tough to dislodge once they move in. The ants often chew through electrical wiring, shorting equipment, and experts fear they may soon be costing the region billions of dollars in damages, like the fire ants that plague the South.
The ants—called "crazy" because they move in all directions instead of in a straight line—have been wiping out beehives and have been sighted as far north as San Antonio this summer.

I believe this scripture which refers to beasts killing men alludes to diseases that may be transmitted. Things like bird flu, swine flu, malaria, west nile virus, lyme disease, and many more. Blood sucking vectors like mosquitoes, fleas, ticks, and bedbugs can carry a lot of diseases and even cause ailments like paralysis.
I don't think its bugs that we have to fear - its birds!
