Monsanto and Animal Mutations.
The world's most popular weed killer can induce morphological changes in vertebrate skeletal animals! University of Pittsburgh say Mansanto's Roundup caused the shapes of two species of amphibians to change. This study is the first of it's kind to show the very dangerous consequences of this herbicide. In the presence of predators, tad poles have been shown to change their shape due to stress hormones. Similar shape changes have been seen when tad poles were exposed to roundup sans predators. This development is important because it could potentially affect other animals, our ecosystems health and could be a an indicator of potential dangers to other species in the food chain. Who's at the top of the food chain? Every action has a reaction!
