    Damn, all this time I thought birds came from eggs, not seeds. So poisonous birds grew up to attack the villagers? I would sue too.

    Jesus that is seriously messed up stuff. They need to identify the responsible middle managers and lock them up. I say middle managers as the really good upper managers always find a way to ensure that they can claim ignorance. It would be nice to see some big guys take the fall here as fines just don't cut the mustard when you fuck up the environment like these guys have admitted to.

    I've always found poisoned birds are easier to shoot. They fly slower. Kinda like the "short bus riders" of bird society.

    The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company was sentenced to pay a $4 million fine and perform community service for eleven criminal violations of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). In a separate civil agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Scotts will pay more than $6 million in penalties and spend $2 million on environmental projects under a settlement that resolves additional civil pesticide violations.

    Fiscal 2012 net sales increased 1 percent to $2.83 billion, compared to $2.80 billion a year ago. Global Consumer sales were flat at $2.5 billion for the year.


    Seems about right for maybe killing a few hundred thousand song birds. The penalty is the equivalent to a few seeds of sales.



    Our Mission

    ScottsMiracle-Gro is committed to helping consumers around the world by providing them with innovative solutions to create beautiful and healthy lawns and gardens. We will be responsible stewards of our planet. In return, we will be rewarded with an improved market presence and profitable growth that enhances shareholder value.


    Profits first, that's capitalism.

    If I ever catch any of you spraying Raid on those poor spiders who eat the mosquitoes, I am going to report you to the EPA. And to slap one of those blood sucking mosquitoes on your arm. Well you fucking bastard. You are going to go to hell.

    I dunno. Scott's fucked up here for sure but just where do you draw the line? Don't shoot the birds but spray the shit out of your crops for grasshoppers and plant eating grubs. Spread crap on standing water for mosquito larvae. Hell, hunters used lead shot for how many decades, knowing that the pellets settling at the bottom of the ponds were being eaten by the waterfowl, which in turn were dying from extreme lead poisoning. At least we finally changes that.

    You can thank capitalism for the lifestyle we all enjoy today. You wouldn't have your smart phone or your motorcycle without it.
