Coarsegold, California
Coarsegold is a ranching region north of Fresno, Madera County, California.
On
August 14, 2009, more than thirty young males from a cattle herd were
discovered dead in the Fresno River near Coarsegold, California, in
Madera County. The owner of the animals is a rancher from Chowchilla,
California, who did not talk to the media.

Authorities
told KFSN-TV that “it appeared the herd stampeded down the sides of the
steep river channel and most plunged to their deaths on the rocks
below. Madera County Sheriff's Deputies shot and killed several of the
wounded survivors of the fall. Residents who live along the Fresno
River are afraid the dead animals could spread disease and contaminate
their water supplies.”
The Madera County Health
Department issued a press release on Monday, August 17, 2009, that
stated: “Threats to water quality are likely minimal. However, the
Madera County Environmental Health Department is looking into the
potential impact of possibly affected water systems and private wells
in the area.” Residents are angry that Madera County authorities did
not act immediately to remove the carcasses from the Fresno River.
Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland
Small Alpine village of Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland, in
lower right corner is southeast of Bern.
On
or about August 25, 2009, cattle began to plunge over a high cliff near
the small Alpine village of Lauterbrunnen. After three days of the
baffling falls, 28 cows and bulls had died on the rocks of the valley
floor below.

near the Swiss Alpine village of Lauterbrunnen. The animals began falling and dying
on August 25, 2009, for three days. Image 2009 by Daily MailOnline.
Swiss
policemen investigating the unusual scene had to call in helicopters to
remove the cattle bodies to prevent local groundwater pollution. “There
are no large carnivores living in the Alps anymore that would once have
disposed of the cattle bodies, so we have to move them away by air,”
said a Swiss police spokesman. “We are investigating because cows
growing up in the mountains normally can estimate dangers and do not
plunge down cliffs.”
