Die offs like that have been happening throughout history. The problem is that where it used to be a local problem once every couple of centuries, now everybody in the world hears about it within hours.
Yes, there are manmade causes for die offs, but there are plenty of natural ones too.

Very topical.
I think the bees should be more worried as they started dying out before the other two.

sounds like natural causes to me

Actually, dear bees, you were first…As Bug noted.
But I don’t think all of you were hit by falling ducks.
Although I suppose a Colony would Collapse in Disorder if a duck fell on it, too…

Ah, the modern fallacy that natural is automatically better than manmade. I say look at things in detail before you start worrying.
If I was the one dying off, natural or manmade, I would take it personally.

Look at panel 3. That foot isn’t from a duck, more like a starling.

Humans are part of nature. Therefore, if we do something that causes a die-off, it’s still “natural causes.”
