First it was the birds, then some fish. Now, 200 dead cows turned up last week in Illinois. Is the Apocowlypse coming?

The 200 dead cattle were discovered on a farm field on 4th Street in Amherst. Sunday, the bodies were taken out in semi-loads to be disposed of.

The farm's veterinarian says preliminary results show the animals died of acute interstitial pneumonia, also known as AIP. Samples from the dead animals were sent to Madison for testing.

The vet says the steers began to die early last week, with the last dying Saturday. The animals started showing symptoms of illness and then died within 12 hours. The vet says animals didn't respond to treatment.

The experts claimed it was Acute Interstitial Pneumonia, but we all know that it's just code word for military death ray.
