Following on the heels of the somewhat high-profile report this week that poison-laced hot dogs killed a fisher at a Humboldt County grow in July, the Environmental Protection Information Center (EPIC) says it’s campaigning to get rat poison off of local shelves.
EPIC says it’s trying to convince retailers to voluntarily ban the sale of “second generation anticoagulant rodenticides” like d-CON. County supes passed a resolution in May urging the same, to the consternation of one poison-industrial-complex rep.
It’s not just irresponsible growers using these toxins that put people at risk, EPIC says, though it cites a study in its press release that says 80 percent of fishers found dead by researchers between 2006 and 2011 had been exposed to rodenticides. (The July fisher — the first confirmed intentional poisoning of a fisher — was determined to have died from insecticides, though rodenticides were also found in its system.) Residences and businesses should also seek alternatives, EPIC says. “We don’t have to poison our families and wildlife to live and work in rural Northwest California.”

It’s about time the NCJ started covering matters that are of significant importance to people rather than shilling for the pharmaceutical drug cartel and its lackeys that advertise so heavily withinn the NCJ’s pages.
Oh wait–nothing’s changed. You’re still defending the PharmaWhores by continuing to demonize marijuana.
Nevermind…
But as long as you’re on the subject of rat poison, here’s a litttle bit of information that the pharmaceutical sales reps masquerading as “doctors” rarely tell people around here…

But it doesn’t stop at cancer and tumors, Aspartame also causes a multitude of neurological problems…which your heavy-duty advertisers don’t bother telling their victims about, instead conning their labrats, er, “patients” into thinking their neurological challenges are due to the absence of patented pharmaceutical poisons in their system…
