The above is an admission that these toxins are capable of catastrophic damage.
"Used Properly" does not justify the unregulated release of the toxins into our environment.
It only takes one asshole using them "improperly" to cause a whole lot of long term dmages,
not to just himself, his family, and his property,
but to all those who live near him,
or occupy that property in the future.
"Used Properly" !!!!!
What a crock.
How many Home Owners in the suburbs use these "properly".
How many upscale Golf Courses use these poisons "properly."
Like most poisons, low doses won't do a lot of damage,
but I still believe children should not be allowed to play with cyanide.
Nor do I believe that uneducated, untrained, unlicensed, unbonded, unaccountable, and unsupervised people
should have unrestricted and unregulated access to the purchase and use of these very powerful poisons.
Thank You for the admission that these poisons are very powerful,
and that improper usage can cause grave and long lasting damage.
One thing we KNOW for sure is that they are NOW being used improperly,
and will continue to be used improperly until they are regulated, supervised, and violaters held accountable!
