I was referring to King Brown the licensed pesticide field jockey...sorry you thought the shoe fit you.
And I'm sorry I misunderstood you.
Convince me the chemical companies give a damn about a quail.
Won't try to do that, 'cause I agree that the only reason they care if a quail dies is that it might cause repercussions that would cause them to lose sales/money. It is up to the individual licensed applicator who uses pesticides to use them properly and according to label, just the same as it is up to the user of a gun, explosive, or truck to use them legally and properly, and not as a tool of human death. However, blaming the manufacturer of Furadan for the eagle's death is no different than blaming the manufacturers of ammonium nitrate for the death of 168 people in the Oklahoma City bombing.
When we blame the object instead of the (mis)user, we go awry.
