What could possibly go wrong?
America's first free roaming genetically engineered insects are coming to New York
Diamondback moths may be a mere half-inch in length, but their voracious appetite for Brussels sprouts, kale and cauliflower make them a major pain for farmers. This week, the U.S. Department of Agriculture approved a potential solution: moths genetically engineered to contain a special gene that makes them gradually die off. A field trial slated to take place in a small area of upstate New York will become the first wild release of an insect modified using genetic engineering in the US.
Something is not right. Look what happened to the Mississippi River with the introduction of Chinese carp!
It really is madness.......oh, and you have no say. The wisdom of the USDA speaks for you!
Ditto @doccrypto, resteemed.
Thanks for the resteem, this is important information to share👍
Stupidity...
I wholeheartedly agree
Thank you
You're welcome
What the fuck ever happened to nature taking care of itself? Oh that's right, it will. It'll kill us off for tampering with it.
Well said Brother. Probably sooner than we think.
Interesting post!
I agree, it seems like every time I read a news article I am left shaking my head in disbelief.
Sounds like the beginning of a good doomsday movie. I wonder which species will be making it?
MGM presents: Doomsday!
This could be easily end up being a perfect example of the law of unintended consequences--a restatement of a basic truth -- that the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry
That is the truth!
This could possibility go really bad. I guess they want them to mate with other moths.
I agree, it could go really bad
