Reports of millions of dead brids and dead fish are beginning to come in from all over the world.

In Brazil, ParanaOnline has reported 100 tons of dead catfish, croaker and sardines. In New Zealand hundreds of dead snapper have been found. And Swedish officials are reporting the deaths of dozens of birds. The Baltimore Sun is also reporting the sudden death of 2 million fish in the Chesapeake Bay.

It began on New Year’s Eve in Beebe Arkansas with the discovery of 5,000 blackbirds that had fallen from the sky dead. One day later, 100,000 fish suddenly died in the nearby Arkansas River, and more than 500 blackbirds turned up dead in Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana. Dozens more were soon reported dead in Gilbertsville, Kentucky.

Authorities have attempted to explain the massive numbers of dead birds and dead fish on natural occurrences, like fireworks and weather. However, none of the deaths, so far, have a solid scientific explanation. Officials have also been unable to explain why so many animals have died, in so many differnt countries, in less than a week.

The unexplained disruption of wildlife and the impact on the ecosystem have sparked many people to suggest the true cause is related to biblical and apocolyptic prophesy
