Please read this new report posted at LBAMspray.com -- Light Brown Apple Moth (LBAM) Eradication Program: Post-Spray Effects on Animals and Pets. Roy Upton prepared a summary report of animal death and injury following the LBAM spray in Santa Cruz and Monterey County.

The most important thing to derive from the many studies, anecdotes, and comments coming from Santa Cruz and Monterey is that tests are "inconclusive." The CDFA claims no harm was done to humans or animals, and yet when you read the reports and attend the meetings, it is clear that very little was done to ascertain how much damage and injury actually incurred. Attend the meeting on May 8 to get a better grasp of the situation. If you've been listening to the official line, you'll be overwhelmed by how refutable many of the CDFA's claims truly are.
