#1 Fish & Game are in a hurry to collect the bodies.
I first thought they may have flown through RA outgassing. Now I wonder if they hit a power beam test.

#3 We can consume the rats with antlers. Then the rats with wings...

When they came for the rats with antlers, I said nothing for I was not herbivorous.

Some years back, there was a big outbreak of avian cholera in the Texas migratory snow goose population. The Dept. of Wildlife wanted to shoot the poor afflicted critters, but enviro-weenies filed suit saying it was mean to shoot them, better to let them die 'naturally'. After a while, the question was moot.

#5 Man, lighting off a honker or two would be crazy. Likely carry the equivalent of 8 gallons in their fatty, fat fat. Forest fires, thermal infrastructure damage and roof fires.
