When hundreds of dead birds were found Monday in Yankton, South Dakota, many residents were puzzled, thinking it was the latest in a string of similar mysterious mass animal deaths around the world. But this is one instance of the many where a clear cause has been identified, as the U.S. government claims responsibility for killing the more than 200 starlings.

The article states they were poisoned. This also makes me wonder if this poison will seep into our wells?

i think the gov had nothing to do with it but the gov. had 2 choices let animals keep dying and say they know nothing and seem like there not in power or say they did it so now whenever another animal dies we will think the gov did it and turn our attention away from the other possible causes such as the poles switching

A bait laced with the poison DRC-1339 was used, though officials were surprised the birds made it so far before dying. They assure that the poisoned dead birds do not pose a risk to nearby animals or humans.
