What the DNR already knows but didn't say this week in its news release is that some whitetails in the study carried neonic concentrations greater than .33 parts per billion — the level at which fawn survival decreased in a study on captive deer in South Dakota. Phase one of the Minnesota study found neonic levels as high as 6.1 parts per billion, the DNR wrote in letters this week to the hunters who provided spleen samples.

If it's in the deer, it's in all wildlife.

I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown

Neonics are truly a danger to all life forms on the planet. Isn't it bad enough what climate change is doing otherwise? No, we have to drive more wildlife toward extinction. We don't live in a vacuum. We need so many other species necessary for our own survival. The web of life on earth can't tolerate much more extinctions.

I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White

Excellent book Linda, well worth reading.
