While I don't dispute that animals have a sensitivity to things like this, I do wonder at the anecdotal evidence of no dead animals found. It's one of those things that is easy to inappropriately extrapolate to mean that no animals died. We don't know that. We just have the anecdotal comments from people who we don't know.
And of course, we don't know the full extent of the area or time span in which they're referring to. Was it a cursory report from a half hour drive through a 5 acre area? And in the, rather likely, event that an animal is found dead now after the article is written, the discovery likely won't make its way to the public consciousness. As a slight tangent, how many dead pigeons do you see when walking the streets of D.C or NY or some other pigeon infested city? I went years before seeing one and that one was roadkill. From that, I will extrapolate that pigeons are immortal. Or at least immune from natural death and they will only die if violently damaged from an external source. -Kevin On Fri, 31 Dec 2004 11:40:12 -0500, Larry C.
