Thank you for this piece, did you know that carbofuran is being dumped in Africa now that it can't be used in USA? We are fighting FMC the manufacturer - pls see our blog http://stopwildlifepoisoning.wildlifedirect.org

  • Summary: Rachel Carson warned us.In 1962, she spoke out against the use of DDT in her book Silent Spring. I wonder what she would say about carbofuran today, a pesticide that’s also deadly to birds.
