[…] made the slide show Purple Death to illustrate what is happening in Kenyan rice schemes to enable anyone anywhere to share this […]

I am glad someone is looking out for the wildlife. We have to stop poisoning and trying to control everything in our paths. Thank you

Hi. Excellent and distressing slide show, I will do my best to support you. Slide Show moved too fast towards the end, and I was not able to read the captions.

Hi Paula!
How utterly distressing! I feel embarrased that though I followed the blog posts from the start, I felt helpless to do anything about this. However, I have started talking to my friends about it and they feel all Kenyans need to voice their outrage on this. What with no food, no money and now no wildlife to bring income in????I had been hoping that the ministry of health would rise up in arms but apparently they are mum about this too!
Keep up the good work. And yes, we have to come together as one to grind this stuff to a halt!
Ina

Hi Philip - I know it goes fast - you can click with the play button to make it go slower.

Hi Ina thank you for your thoughtful comment. Knowledge if the first thing - please tell as many people as possible, actions can only come once we have an informed public. People in Kenya are getting organized but we need help from you all especially in the USA to hit at the manufacturerssm the EPA, the US Government - is it really ethical to export deadly chemicals that FMC knows are being misused and killing lots of wildlife not to mention the possibility of human deaths?

This is a very sad story, but there is a petition against the poisoning which can be found at http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/669931689?z00m=19768525

Please sign it and help these poor animals.

It’s absolutely devastating!
Why does governments allow such cruelty to their natural assets - and their people?

Why don’t camps and lodges which attract tourists from around the World bringing income to the countries force these governments to abandon the import and distribution of these insecticides?

When will humans ever learn?
