Thousands Of Bodies Have Been Thrown Into A Landfill


U.S. cattle farms discarded thousands of cow carcasses into Kansas landfills after a heat wave gave rise to a surge in deaths that the traditional disposal methods couldn’t handle.

Cattle companies took the carcasses to the landfills following a June heat wave. The cows were then crushed by machinery and mixed in with regular trash.

Cow carcasses are typically used to create compost or feed for other animals, but the heat wave deaths exceeded the demand for such products.

State officials in Kansas say that at least 2,000 heads of cattle deaths can be attributed to the June heat, but other estimates have placed the number as high as 10,000.

Heat waves have also been responsible for multiple human deaths in recent weeks, with at least 12 heat-related deaths occurring in Arizona’s Maricopa County alone between July 10 and 16.

Several cities have experienced temperatures in excess of 110 degrees, and others have set records for the number of consecutive days with temperatures over 100 degrees.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a warning concerning heat stroke and exhaustion in late June. The U.S. suffered at least 19 heat-caused deaths in July.
