Comments on: Reedley, CA Farmers Want Their Customers To Be Poisoned http://www.veganreader.com/2008/05/25/reedley-ca-farmers-want-their-customers-to-be-poisoned/ Just another WordPress weblog Fri, 21 Nov 2008 00:01:57 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: admin http://www.veganreader.com/2008/05/25/reedley-ca-farmers-want-their-customers-to-be-poisoned/#comment-684 admin Mon, 26 May 2008 20:04:16 +0000 http://www.veganreader.com/?p=129#comment-684 Thanks, Mary Anne. It looks like the UNobserver picked up that fascinating document written by Prof. Cummins regarding the effects of synthetic insect pheromones on large mammals. This is crucial information. I am eagerly trying to get notice taken of what was written and the growing body of evidence which shows that these chemicals cause sexual aggression in male mammals, including human men. I contacted CASS and other groups urging them to pick this information up and start running with it. CDFA has GOT to stop calling their 'pheromone' harmless. It's been their whole policy to refer to the pesticide compound as a harmless pheromone, ignoring all of the toxic inerts. Now, we are seeing that the pheromone itself is terribly dangerous to us. I hope this information will be spread far and wide. Thanks for commenting and for the link. Mim Thanks, Mary Anne.

Thank you so much for your article. We have been hoping for some press coverage outside of California so that the world will know what is going on with this misguided CDFA and USDA. It is a very informative article and I hope it will be picked up in many other countries and become an embarrassment to those who would poison their own people for money and break federal and international laws I sent this comment to the UN Observer…

Would you be able to cut and paste a link here? I'd really like to see it! Yes, CDFA is guilty of putting the farmers in this position over a harmless bug...what we want is for the farmers not to then become guilty on their own of choosing money over human lives. The choice is theirs and I am praying that they will make the right decision. Thank you for your eloquent comment. Mim Hi Mary Anne,

While I feel for the farmers and understand the pressure to which they have been exposed, I hope they respond to reason and help their fellow human beings. It is a terrible moral dilemma that CDFA has caused these farmers to face. We have come to this point in the history of our country where we must stand for one another no matter the cost. We must stand against those who would tell us money and production are more important than human life. I read an LBAM article the other day in the UN Observer. Did you see it? I was excited to see that the news is going international. Take care and keep up the good work. Mary Anne Brava, Mim.
