Some 6,000 sheep died in Skull Valley, Arizona, after a gas leak from an American military base. During tests with chemical and biological weapons, the animals of the ranches within a radius of 40 kilometers were killed overnight. In the middle of the Vietnam war, the government became a scandal against war and chemical weapons.
