"Deadliest Barn Fire in US History Kills 18,000 Cows on Texas Farm"

An explosion and fire at a family dairy farm in west Texas killed more than 18,000 cows, making it the deadliest barn blaze on record in the US. The cause of the fire is under investigation, and there are no federal regulations protecting animals from such fires. The Animal Welfare Institute has called for federal laws to prevent barn fires, which kill hundreds of thousands of farm animals each year.
