Spraying for Medflies
- Share via
Fifty-two million dollars down the drain, tons of pesticide were sprayed in the atmosphere and the Department of Agriculture’s Medfly program is a proven flop. To saturate and spray dangerous pesticides in residential areas is insane and stupid. But the department tries to brainwash people into believing this fly is a threat to the agriculture community. The real threat is to people and pets, as we have learned that 90% of all cancers are environmentally caused. If farmers yell “spray,” we’ll yell boycott!
Isn’t it amazing how that smart fly never flies to Beverly Hills, Westwood, Palos Verdes, etc.
