Disgusting.

The heat and no wind didn't kill those cattle. Being locked in a feed lot without appropriate shade did.

Current estimates are 10,000 head of cattle across the state. Let that number sink in. No wonder there is such anti meat feeling.

As the first cattle started to die did they stand and watch the rest die or did they shoot them? Can't see them shooting in a packed corral so the animals must have suffered some, wonder why the risk of this happening wasn't anticipated and addressed.... isn't Kansas a hot state ?

Here's the graph I found online. These temperatures are higher than usual, but not unprecedented. However from the article I believe it was the combination of heat and humidity (brought on by lack of wind).

Thought they had sun shades up on the feed lots

Some do, some don't.

This certainly makes a strong case for them all having shades for sure.

Good

Whatever else I don’t think they would intend loosing all that lot

One comment mentioned lighting ? But ive hardly read any of it , i dont know . Hellish that like

 

[Hilly]

Some do, some don't.

Would something as simple as s shade saved them ?

They all look near ready, you’d expect to see calves etc not big bullocks

How reliable is endshutdown.com as a news source?

Sounds a bit dodgy to me.

Guardian reporting 20 million animals die in america on the way to the abattoir, where do they pick these numbers from?! I doubt they have counted them out!
