Ok, I rarely watch 60 Minutes, but I was at my parents tonight, and this came on.

Hey, I do not like it that lions are being deliberately poisoned, in Kenya, as a way to protect livestock. However, as usual, the liberal MSM attacks the manufacturer of the chemical.

I will admit, they also had some harsh words for the government of Kenya --- But Raila Odinga now runs Kenya, remember?

Raila Odinga, the guy that Barack Obama supported in the last election.

Raila Odinga, the guy that lost the election, in Kenya, then forced his way into power by riots in the streets, burning Christian Churches, and butchering hundreds, if not thousands of innocent people.

But, we are to cry for the Lions?

And the Marxist Dictator, who claims that Obama is his "cousin" is not even mentioned?

Actually, the EPA data sheet, on Furadan, says it is very similar, in effect, to Propylene Glycol:

Ethylene Glycol, propylene glycol, what the heck?

Point taken, the tribe will just move to something else if this poison is restricted.

Yes, I know. When I was farming, I avoided the use of Furidan. It is wonderfully effective stuff against grasshoppers and locusts, but it is hell on earth in secondary kills against birds.

In the end, I went with malathion.
