amazing how all of a sudden we have multiple train derailments, explosions, fires and all without a reasonable explanation. i would venture to say some climate lunatics are running loose.
There is absolutely nothing “all of a sudden” about it. You just hear about it more because the internet and Big Brother is everywhere. You sound like another right-wing LUNATIC like “mary” in this thread.
Wait til all evidence gets exposed. Quit watching MSM. There is no such as a coincidence. Just keep eating the shit the government is feeding you.
please keep us informed about this. i was raised on a farm and milked cows so i’m very worried when animals get hurt and they can’t get out.
So sad, Those poor animals to be confined like that. reading this ruined my day. Human Error
Whatever the reason, cows are separated from the calves and even if they get to roam they are kept for the purposes of people. It is very traumatic for mothers and calves to be separated and what happens to the cows when they can no longer produce milk? They are usually killed. That milk is for their babies, not for people and so those cows should never have been in that situation and been killed in an explosion even if it was an accident.
I read 18,000 cows died and numerous were injured and dying. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2023/04/13/18-000-cows-killed-dairy-farm-fire-dimmitt-texas-what-know/11651207002/
If you search you will find several reports it was 18,000
Yes, that is what the update says at the top of the article, “Update 4/12/2023: After the original publication of this article, more information was released about the devastating dairy farm explosion. It is now estimated that more than 18,000 cattle perished in the blast and fires.”
Tragic.
Utterly heartbreaking!
so Biden sends his goons to the chicken farms and declares that they all have bird flu and the owners of these farms have to eradicate all their chickens who do NOT have the bird flu. EGGS GO UP IN PRICE ALONG WITH CHICKEN.
NO coincidence all the train derailments, are you KIDDING Me??? it’s a Biden set up again to ruin our economy!
Cows were killed in massive numbers in the winter of 2022 out in MONTANA was it? and now this explosion??? ANOTHER SET UP TO RAISE THE PRICE OF BEEF. HOW ABOUT RUINING FARMERS LIVELIHOOD
How about the weather??? all these TORNADOES AND NOW FLOODING AND FREEZING AND SNOW IN CA???? COME ON PEOPLE THE BIDEN ADMIN IS DESTOYING OUR COUNTRY 1 ANIMAL, 1 PEOPLE AND 1 WAY OF SHIPPING AT A TIME!!!!
Come on..this isn’t a political thing
You need to see a good therapist or maybe a voodoo practitioner will do!
First and foremost: FVCK your eggs and beef. It’s obvious you care way more about putting that crap on your plate than you do about the well-being of 18,000+ animals.
Biden is to blame for tornadoes, flooding, and freezing??? You need serious help. And by the way: The Red States always come in DEAD LAST when it comes to animal welfare. You are PATHETIC. The terms “deranged”, “insane”, “stupid”, “ignorant”, “moronic”, and “feeble-minded” also come to mind.
Right-wing “news” is brainwashing you, and it’s sad. Seek a psychotherapist STAT.
No money in dairy operations. Very slim profits, and you have to keep feeding livestock. But the farm is insured. That is a lot of cattle to die all at once. No employee’s opened the gates? Really? I’d investigate this “accident” thoroughly.
could not agree with the above. This story absolutely broke me. I cried for all those souls and how frightened they must’ve been. 18k is ALOT of animals, and NO ONE could open a door and any side of this building/buildings, and get ANY out? this is criminal negligence. Something stinks here. Please shut them down forever. Fire the workers and euthanize the owners!!!!!
sorry- could not agree with the above more!!!!! Sorry Kim!
AND just like all the other explosions, fires (affecting food supply chain), derailments exposing dangerous chemicals, it will be ruled an accident. I say “BULLSHIT!!” The government has their dirty hands all over this. They don’t want you to eat meat and they will take whatever measures they want to to make sure we do not have food. Chemicals being released into the air, streams, etc., is for depopulation. The j*b didn’t kill enough people so they are on to the next plan. ASSHOLES!!!
