This is very disturbing:
https://www.theguardian.com/environm...cientists-find
So yet another way in which highly toxic chemicals are being released into the environment and poisoning creatures in the ecosystem. And no indication yet of any stop to it, much less of a solution to the pet flea problem which avoids spewing toxins into the world
The only silver lining for me personally is that it makes me feel better about the fact that I only get round about once every several months to administering the prescribed monthly flea treatment to our cats. Sheer laziness and dilatoriness on my part (it's not a pleasant task as the cats hate it and can cause scratches on my arms with frantic clawing, not to mention our paranoia about our own risk of contact with the chemicals), but it's good I suppose to see that my inaction has had environmental benefits, or to be more accurate at least avoided further environmental harm.
Any other pet owners moved to comment on this?
