Stop Wildlife Poisoning

Dear readers,

Not quite on my feet to survey beyond my window which does not even give me the rice scheme’s view but I have something to share.

EPA ruled hazardous the use of carbofuran even when used correctly. It has an antidote in case of poisoning. I think it is the most unused antidote on medical shelves given that it kills almost instantly once the lethal dose is attained. Even the lethal doses seem grossly innacurate. In going round and round laboratories to have my samples tested, I met so many sympathisers willing to assist and test but seemed cut off at some point. Some shared with me the facts on humans and carbofuran poisoning. With their permission and without mentioning names:

1. At one particular lab they tested 5 to 8 positive human cases per month which was the highest unnatural cause of death at least in that lab.

2. Many cases of carbofuran-caused deaths were suicide cases and just this year even Juanco lost their own (may he RIP).

3. Children poisoned may be the overwhelming majority.The male lion kills cubs that are not his own so that he fathers and protects his own carrying his genes. In African or may be more specifically Kenyan polygamy some jealous partners (wives) will poison the rival’s young in an attempt to gain dominance or just to settle a small score!

4. A group of other technicians thought that we are advocating against carbofuran using wildlife when indeed it is killing more humans. I said actually we are not medical experts and I thought they had a moral duty to write back to the Medics who refer samples to them to test that carbofuran has turned out frequently as the killer. They should then write to the government asking for its ban. That alone would be good support.

Please keep reading.
