Actually the bad part is not that mass deaths among animals is rare but on the contrary, it is becoming more and more commonplace. And it has been going on for decades including seals, sea turtles and especially amphibians of all kinds but most notably frogs.
The problem is not attributable to one common cause. BUT the cause is not the issue, the scale of the crisis is the issue. Individuals out of hundreds of species are dying off in mass numbers all the time and up until special cases such as this, the press has NOT been keeping the public informed of the fact. We have a serious, serious ecological crisis on our hands and it is continually getting worse. And modern civilzation as a whole is not taking the matter as the grave concern for the future that it truly is. The economy is based on the ecology and for some reason most people don't get the connection.
