BST MILK and Ordinary MILK Indistinquishable? Not Really.

Apparently Portlanders (Portlandites?) take their government regulations quite seriously. ================================================== ====================== "The owners of some of the 16 or more dogs believed to have been poisoned at Southeast Portland's Laurelhurst Park between July 3 and July 9 think the poisoning is related to the city's controversy over off-leash dogs. And Sgt. Brian Schmautz, spokesman for the Portland Police Bureau, says they may be right. "Obviously, we won't know until we have a suspect and know what his motive was," Schmautz said Wednesday. "But we've been hearing anecdotally that many of these (affected) dogs were possibly off-leash and that the substance may have been left in places, like bushes, designed to target off-leash dogs." Veterinarians who treated some of the dogs suspect that they were poisoned with meat laced with the highly toxic herbicide paraquat. Results of tests done on several of the eight dogs that have died so far were not available at press time. Paraquat, which is used for weed control, can be legally purchased and sold in Oregon only by people or businesses with special licenses from the Oregon Department of Agriculture. http://www.portlandtribune.com/archview.cgi?id=19225 ================================================== ========================== It may not have been paraquat at all. Perhaps the dogs just stumbled upon some unwashed organic produce. ~8^) --Hua Kul Grin......... I suppose since we don't have unpasteurized milk readily available in our parks................ Of interest washing organic foods, which I highly recommend, did not remove the chemicals which tests indicated they contained. Many of these chemicals, just as in the instances of dirt grown vegetables, were within the plant structure and could not be washed off. The only solutions are to remove the items from the store shelves, which one major local grocery chain did, or to advertise the product so strongly and favorably that customers consumed the evidence.
