[–] doppelgangmember@lemmy.world 13 points 3 years ago (1 child) kinda my thoughts too Like they probably didnt just drop over dead. Sure someone could've seen it coming. Panting, lethargy, etc are all signs... permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] darthfabulous42069@lemm.ee 9 points 3 years ago I read the article and the authorities were watching the cubs for two days as they watched them die. They first took notice when one dropped dead, and they only intervened when the other three collapsed... 😢😢😢 One cub lived, though. If there's any solace in all of this, at least one goddamn cub lived. permalink fedilink source parent
