One after another, a dozen animals and one vulture walked into an odd but "perfect storm" of electricity, all of them getting zapped to death in the Pinkham Creek drainage south of Eureka over a period of months.
Roger Pitman, operations superintendent at the Lincoln Electric Cooperative, said the situation wasn't discovered until Oct. 10 when a dangling power line finally was knocked out.
The utility's responding crew found - next to a downed power line - the carcasses of five whitetail deer, four black bears, two wolves, one coyote and a turkey vulture....
