5. What about humans?
Tue Dec 26, 2017, 03:11 PM

If these toxic chemicals are damaging the lower species, what effect are they having on people? Like the other chemical manufacturers who were outed when documents showed they were aware that their products harmed living thing, these pesticide companies already know what's happening to the environment, to flora and fauna, and they don't care.

These Big Chemical giants are making huge profits because for decades they made sure it's legal for them bribe politicians to look the other way, to pay off dissenters and fund glowing white papers. They are so powerful they can get away with feeding lies to a complacent press who will dutifully dupe the public. We humans are part of collateral damage as a result of business profits, just as disposable as bees.
