Description
The Navajo living in the Cove and Red Rock Valley area are aware that all creeks and washes running off the north slope of the Chuska Mountains are contaminated from the Uranium mining and therefore no longer use that water for domestic or irrigation purposes. However, their live stock drink from whatever source of water is available as these sheep here are drinking the water of the Standing Redrock Creek.
We also saw signs of (Black) Bear scat and deer droppings along these water sources.

That is very sad to see.

Great photo, but sad situation Sig!!
Great picture!!!
Attention getting...those poor animals know no difference.
excellent photo
Sad to hear of such human destruction. How will they ever be able to stop these animals from drinking the contaminated water. Superb capture my friend. God Bless.
It's sad to see this! If the sheep drink contaminated water, even their milk will be! Excellent shot!
Not a good sight to see what a shame that the animals don't have a source of good clean water.. Do they eat these contaminated sheep? Nice shot Sig!
this is a bd thing needs to be taken care of somehow
WONDERFUL SHOT
Great capture it is a shame that the mining company did what it did.
It is a wonder they aren't glowing. What a shame about the contamination. I wonder if they will ever get it cleaned up. A lovely photo of this rural scene.
do they glow in the dark? lol anyway this is cool
maybe they are used to it and will mutate.,
I've just finished reading about the Humboldt Sink and the emigrants who came through there in the 1840s and 1850s. They had no other source of water, so they drank what was available, no matter how disgusting. When one has no other water, an untennable choice is still the only one.
Sad situation!
Terrible situation...do you have any informations about the problems the Navajos have ?
Radioactive sheep??? Lovely shot.
How sad this is and i am sure those poor animals will die from some kinda sickness i just hope the people are not drinking this crap great shot hon.

Shhh! Glow in the dark sheep are easier to find at night. ;) Wonderful capture!
