This is a common Hollywood horror cliché, which was especially prevalent during the 70s when liberal Hollywood was preoccupied by Paul Ehrlich-inspired doom and gloom. Of course not only was Ehrlich and his "population bomb" proven to be profoundly wrong, but all of those ham-handed 1970s environmental horror movies (where mans proliferation and intrusion into the environment caused natural wildlife to go whacko) were incredibly bad.

The wildlife going crazy meme was much more effective when their was no identifiable cause. Hitchcock's "The Birds" and Spielburg's "Jaws" are perfect examples.

I think the cause of animals going beserk has something to do with fast food
