Exclusive: Thousands of U.S. cattle buried, dumped at Kansas landfill
Top U.S. cattle feeding companies sent 1,000-pound carcasses to a Kansas landfill, where they were flattened by loader machines and mixed with trash, after a June heatwave killed thousands of cows, documents seen by Reuters show.
Other cattle were buried in unlined graves, a feeding company said.
Neither is a typical method for disposing of bodies. But so many cows died in the unusual heat and humidity that facilities that normally convert carcasses into pet food and fertilizer products were overwhelmed, prompting the state government and cattle feeders to take emergency measures. read more
The mass deaths and subsequent scramble to deal with decaying bodies sparked a push for changes in the meat industry in Kansas, the third-largest U.S. cattle state.
Kansas is forecast to see more high temperatures that can stress and potentially kill cattle this summer, adding to the myriad problems caused by increasingly extreme weather linked to climate change.
Although state officials authorized companies to dispose of carcasses at the Seward County Landfill in Liberal, Kansas, they are now considering alternatives to decrease the risks for foul smells and other problems if more deaths occur, the landfill's director said.

That's right. If they can get to shade, water, and food, there ain't no cause.

Well, this death spiral of cows will help reduce the high methane from cow farts. Maybe Bill Gates is behind this.
No better way to depopulate a planet than eliminate water and food.
I read awhile back that 90% of the USA population would starve to death in one year with the right circumstances. Is that coming? Never thought it possible, but now with Wrecking Ball Joe and his assorted company of clowns and commies...hell yes, we could all be dead in a year!!!!
