Animal Deaths Prophetic?

Yet another intriguing occurance in regard to the deaths of animals around this country. Now add the cow to the growing list of mass animal deaths which alreadly included the fish, bird, and crab.

From local CBS media cover the story:

WFRV)--A Portage County farm has been hit hard by a cattle disease.More than
two-hundred dead cattle were found in a field at an Amherst farm this past
weekend.The cause of the mysterious deaths appears to be from a form of
pneumonia.The dead cows had to be removed with semi-trucks. The rest of the
farm has not been quarantined, and officials say no threat is
posed toward anyone else.

One person's take:

On New Year`s Eve thousands of black birds fell from the sky in Beebe --
Arkansa, not a particularly cheery omen for the new year. The next day thousands
of fish were found dead in the Arkansas River, and almost every day since there
have been mass deaths of animals all over the world. Now it`s hundreds of cows
have been discovered dead on a farm field in Wisconsin:

The death of cows, birds and fish in particular seems to follow the
prophecy set out by the Bible in the Book of Hosea, and are said to result when
man turns his back on God. "By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing,
and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood," the prophecy
goes. "Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall
languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the
fishes of the sea also shall be taken away."Read more: http://newsfeed.time.com/2011/01/18/does-the-death-of-200-cows-in-wisconsin-confirm-biblical-prophecy/#ixzz1BhX9Oj5C

Regardless of the outcome of those necropsies, plenty of people find the
herd's mysterious death somewhat apocalyptic, especially in the wake of events
that claimed the lives of thousands of birds and fish in Arkansas, and hundreds of birds in Sweden, Louisiana and Kentucky.
Some Christians, including
online theologian Paul Begley in Indiana, believe the animal deaths were divined
from above as a sign the end of days is approaching.Read more: http://newsfeed.time.com/2011/01/18/does-the-death-of-200-cows-in-wisconsin-confirm-biblical-prophecy/#ixzz1BhciXCeB

Could this be a sign of the times? Luke 21 states that, "There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven." Whether or not a few cows, birds and fish drop dead could be considered questionable. But, when they all happen at once? It's certainly an indication if anything else that all is not well with the world as we know it.
