Why do many cows die during a thunderstorm even though the lightning do not strike them directly?
They don't. No idea where you got this from, but this couldn't be farther from the truth, and something I have NEVER seen in all my years of helping raising cattle, AND seeing the many thunderstorms that roll through! It is true that cattle do die during thunderstorms, but only if they were hit by lightning, not just because some thunderstorm, big or small, rolled though.
