Year after year the leading cause of death for Florida panthers is being struck by vehicles. . . . In 2021, 27 were killed.
More than 10% of the remaining estimated 200 were killed in 2021. Certainly more needs to be done about vehicle strikes for both Panthers, manatees, and mountain lions in California.
A weakened sick animal poisoned with rat killer, or having Parkinson’s or cancer from paraquat/ carbamates/ glyphosate/ organophosphorus/ or organochlorine and the thousands of other herbicides and insecticides we are spraying _in_ their homes . . .
Is simply more likely to be less alert and attentive and much more likely to get hit by a car.
The car is Kaposi sarcoma and we need to fight the root cause — AIDS (or in this case pesticides). Un-like AIDS, where the biomedical industry was making money in “the fight.” With pesticides, the “industry” is making money making us _all_ sick.
