Get Arsenic (a known carcinogen, Immune Suppressant and a "Dumbing agent") out of Our Food Supply and Environment
Support BIll (H.R. 3624), known as the Poison-Free Poultry Act of 2009
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, long-term exposure to arsenic can cause bladder, lung, skin, kidney, and colon cancer, as well as deleterious immunological, neurological, and endocrine effects. Low-level exposures can lead to partial paralysis and diabetes.
NOTE According to ScienceDaily (May 21, 2009) The ability to mount an immune response to influenza A (H1N1 Swine Flu) infection is significantly compromised by a low level of arsenic exposure.
Three different pathways exist by which roxarsone (arsenic) in poultry and pig feed can contribute to human arsenic exposure. Roxarsone, or its breakdown products, ends up in poultry and pork meat and adds to the consumers dietary intake of arsenic, Arsenic which is excreted in litter contaminates land and groundwater after the manure is spread on cropland and the large amounts of poultry litter is made into fertilizer pellets for home gardens and lawns contaminating homegrown produce with arsenic and exposing the consumer to arsenic dust.
The EU and Israel have banned this totally needless practise to protect their citizens from being poisoned -- yet the Canadian and US Governments continues to allow this Rat Poison to flow freely into consumers food and environment.
Please Sign the Petition below to ask, those who can, to Ban this Insane Practise and protect the health of Canadian and American consumers.
Thanx ...... ivan

They torment their feathered friends by cramming them is small cages trampling through disgusting feces. This would be a human’s horrid fate to be put into such a pathetic similar satanic situation. So why then should our beaked friends have to be. Down with KFC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess if Marie Antoinette were alive today she would exclaim to the great unwashed, "Let them eat KFC". all those poor animals sacrificed for greed and the kicker being, the poison they are fed is passed along to those who eat this garbage. too bad that people would not rise up against these companies and boycott them.

I believe we are being slowly poisoned to death by eating the arsenic knowingly put into our food supply. Look at all the cancers, diabetes, fibromyralgia, chronic fatigue and other horrible diseases going on with so many people these days! PLEASE STOP THIS NOW! It may be too late for us because of corportate and company greed for money, but lets provide a healthier world for our children and grandchildren, for Christs sake!

Feeding poison to animals, particularly animals that are then consumed by humans is simply unacceptable. I don't know why it hasn't been banned yet but the ban must be put into place immediately. If the FDA and Ag departments can't do better for us than this, then the people in those departments aren't earning their paychecks and should be summarily fired. We can hire others who care enough about the American people and their own professionalism to do their jobs. It's time for this to stop immediately.

We are destroying ourselves, that's for sure. All the different Environmental insults will come together some day and re-inforce each others' effects. Then that'll be the End. Too bad all those greedy rich people, each looking out ONLY for themselves and making their wonderful Profits, saw and still see absolutely NOTHING wrong with their short-sightedness and lack of consideration for ANY human or other creature, than their selfish selves.
