Radio: Mysterious disease killing seals along US East Coast — Fukushima radiation testing underway by gov’t scientists
Radio: Mysterious disease killing seals along US East Coast — Fukushima radiation testing underway by gov’t scientists — “Never seen anything like this before” (AUDIO)

Scientists say a type of bird flu – H3N8 – is responsible for the death of the more than 160 harbor seals on the East Coast [New England area, from Maine to Massachusetts]. Reports of sick seals began in September, which coincided with the reports of diseased seals in Alaska’s northern coasts. KNOM’s Laureli Kinneen reports there is no relation between the avian flu on the East Coast and the disease affecting iced seals and walrus in Alaska.

Kinneen: Based on hunter observation, it is a new disease syndrome that we are observing, because based on traditional knowledge, as well as communication from the hunters, they had never seen anything like this before.

The researchers have not ruled out the radiation released from the Fukushima nuclear accident as the cause [...]

[Dr. Raphaela Stimmelmayr, a wildlife veterinarian and research biologist with the Department of Wildlife Management, has been one of the leading professionals trying learn more about what is happening to the seals] says they are now looking at whether the diseased seals carried cesium-134 and -137 [...]

Cesium-134 is the signature radionuclide that was released during the Fukushima accident.

Stimmelmayr: [...] I think one truly has to wait until we have the quantitative numbers [...]

No idea about the east coast seals... But I do think that they are onto something significant concerning the connection between Fukushima and the diseased Alaska seals. Cesium = cancer and probable death. Soon the harvest of the sea in the northern Pacific will be inedible... but will they tell us?

If you look at this plume simulation, you will see concentrations in swirling weather patterns along the west coast and florida. Yet to be revealed if this has affected wildlife on the east coast.

This happened to North Sea seals years back.

It was just a distemper like flu bug.

Op is right, this is a different case and investigated
by a different Team and different Seals!

The original Text is here:

But it is still stupid to think that F'Shima is responsible
for every dead Animal on our Globe!

Also in this Investigation they do not found
any Relation between the Seals and the Accident!
