Scientist Threatened by Government: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2B3uyHFpvo

Here's why this happened: http://edition.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/americas/01/23/bolivia.nationalization/inde...

Over 1 million fish and thousands of alligators, turtles, dolphins and other river wildlife are floating dead in numerous Bolivian rivers in the three eastern/southern departments of Santa Cruz, Beni and Tarija. The extreme COLD WATER that hit Bolivia in mid-July caused water quality to dip below the minimum standards river life can tolerate. As a consequence, rivers, lakes, lagoons and fisheries are brimming with decomposing fish and other creatures.

Unprecedented: Nothing like this has ever been seen in this magnitude in Bolivia. Inhabitants of riverside communities report the smell is nauseating and can be detected as far as a kilometer away from river banks. River communities, whose livelihoods depend on fishing, fear they'll run out of food and will have nothing to sell. Authorities are concerned there will be a shortage of fish in markets and are more concerned by possible threats to public health, especially in communities that also use river water for bathing and drinking, but also fear contaminated or decaying fish may end up in market stalls. They've begun a campaign to ensure market vendors and the public know how to tell the difference between fresh and unhealthy fish.

  • So uh why did you change the name of this video??? I thought COREXIT killed all these fish and reptiles. What gives?

  • @thedanhardy With further research, I try to report info as accurate as possible. Time will tell, what really happened in Bolivia. I don't believe it was a natural event.

  • How would the corexit make it to Bolivia?

  • @CaylinSoo google earth it, and follow the river out to the ocean.

  • Read le399 to understand more...

  • Listen! "God knows all things" (1 John 3:20) The reason He allowed such mass fish, bird and other animals die-offs everywhere... is to forewarn the hardened unbelievers and unrepentant sinners to convert, to repent while there is time. As Jesus warned: "I tell you all, except you repent, you shall all likewise perish" (Luke 13:5). Die to hell especially when the Three days of darkness, chastisement and deliverance take place. Le Nghia, ”unworthy servant…” (Luke 17:10) a Capuchin Franciscan

  • my big question is did they test them to see what they died of?

  • @RobertKilroy69 Yeah, and BP killed the fish in the Amazon too (Educate yourself on environmental factors before you speak). Btw, the rivers in Bolivia flow TOWARDS the ocean, not the other way around. Again, you need to educate yourself.

  • @traynickel It seems the one with the ignorance is you.
