Scientists stated that modern threats such as pollution and climate change are adding stress to the wild life. Researches showed that the beached whales are caused by the illness and disorientation caused by extra noise from the oceans, such as shipping, oil and gas drilling. In addition, according to the statistics, majority of the mass death incidents of birds occurred in two common cases. The first case was caused by the oil spill. Birds or ducks often landed on the oil spill thinking that it is an attractive patch of calm water and were killed. The latter case often took place in unnoticed sea and rural areas where the food and resources are scarce. Thus, the birds in those areas, especially in winter, grew weaker and died.
Experts officially announced that these unusual mass animal death incidents are not apocalyptic but caused by natural and man-driven events. While increasing number of people still believe that these incidents are apocalyptic, many others are promoting the awareness and significance of the environmental threats and are waiting for appropriate actions to be taken by the government and experts to resolve and stop these problematic incidents and to protect our mother earth.
From my point of view, these mass animal death incidents are not apocalyptic although they are enigmatic. I personally do not believe in 2013 apocalypse either therefore these horrifying incidents being the signs of apocalypse are implausible. However, I am seriously concerned by the fact that the animals are dying in a gradual rate. As the result showed, both natural and human events are contributing towards these incidents. Therefore, us, people should be held responsible for causing the mass deaths of animals. From contamination through pollution to oil spills, humans are causing ultimate stress and killing animals every day. What people have to realize is that our beautiful nature and wilderness is not a right, but a privilege. Environment does not only belong to us but also to wild animals. Thus, if we are polluting the environment and making it unbearable to the animals, it is our fault and we should change our actions to resolve these problems.
It is evident through many incidents such as the mass animal death to global warming that the environment is seriously being damaged. Moreover it is possible that if the damaging continues at this rate, one day the world might not be bearable even for humans. In order to save and protect our mother nature, every individual in the world should make effort to make changes now. Environment wasn't given to us, it was lent to us and it is our duty to preserve the environment in order to pass it on to the future generation. It is not too early to act. Changes are essential.
