* Cattle who were put out into GM corn stubble wouldn't touch it.
* Pigs wouldn't eat the ration when GM crops were included.
* A farmer said, "If you want your cattle to go off their feed, just
switch them out to a GM silage."
* A farmer said that his cattle broke through a fence and ate the
non-GM hybrids but wouldn't touch the GM Roundup Ready corn, even
though they had to walk through the GMs to get to the non-GMs on
the other side of the fence.
* A cattleman saw the weight-gain of his cattle fall off when he
switched to GM feed.
* An organic farmer with a terrible deer problem on his soybeans
found forty of them mowing down his tofu beans while across the
road there wasn't one eating the Roundup Ready GM soy.
* Raccoons romped by the dozen in a field of organic corn, while
down the road there wasn't one ear that had been touched in the Bt
fields.
* Even mice will move on down the line if given an alternative to GM
crops.


funny that
tonnes of GM maize have been imported into Europe and no one has noticed any
difference

perhaps these differences only occur when witnessed by people a long way
away?
