Herds in Danger as Dust Settles - April 19, 2010

This Toronto Star article discusses how the volcanic ash in Skogar, Iceland is harming the farms and animals. The farmers in this area are trying to protect their herds of cattle, sheep and lambs from inhaling and ingesting the ash that is in the air from the volcano. This can cause very serious health problems for these animals. Some farmers are even keeping their herds locked up in barns and covering the windows to protect them from the ash.
