6400 Dead Sheep in Dugway in '68

Psalms 49:14 Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them;

Hmmm, just found this bit of information on the history of dead animals outside of Dugway. In all fairness, I saw only a few deceased cattle, which is nothing compared to thousands of dead sheep there in the '68.

In March 1968, 6,400 sheep were found dead after grazing in south Skull Valley, an area just outside Dugway's boundaries. When examined, the sheep were found to have been poisoned by a deadly nerve agent called VX. The incident, coinciding with the birth of the environmental movement and anti-Vietnam protests, created an uproar in Utah and internationally.

One side note. There's no sheep there now.

LDS lessons learned in an LSD World:

• Dead animals are a bad sign but dead people are a worse one.
