@JakeW you are right most people are aware of toxic poison in their food, and a good many of us want it out. Unfortunately there is no way to effectively control the money hungry big pharma, Monsonto and FDA. That said...


I do know feral hogs are a problem and as bad as it seems, the best thing to do in my opinion is to shoot it. It's relatively fast and probably the most humane option at this point. Poisoning animals so that they lay around in terrible pain, bleeding, cramping, convulsing, and vomiting is flat out cruel. I have seen poisoning before and it is not humane in any way. A large animal can take days to die. Even people who think it is ok to kill animals for fun ('sport' they call it) know this is wrong.
And birds and fish are very susceptible to even small amounts. Did they do studies on the offspring? Or anything long term, or any studies they didn't fund themselves. Yes, I always find myself 'not guilty' when I am my own judge and jury.

We don't know what long term affects that can have..... kinda like just putting a little bit of poison in our food everyday... I mean the more I look at that the more ridiculous it sounds D'Oh! You make it sound like warfarin is harmless, it has bad side effects for many people, and they discontinue its use, ditto for many other prescriptions.

The tv is full of ads everyday for lawsuits for products the FDA 'promised' the public were perfectly harmless......
