California
Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) covers up CheckMate pesticide killing 650 birds
after aerial spray in 2007. CDFG
lab report
Disinfo. 1)
CDFG "compared feather extracts
to CheckMate -F", a product that does not exist, and has determined that
the birds did not die from "CheckMate
-F", again, a
product that does not exist.
Disinfo
2) CDFG
"analyzed samples for constituents of CheckMate
-F and found none of the ACTIVE ingrediants".
What about testing for the inert ingrediants
like Tricaprylyl Methyl Ammonium Chloride? "According
to SIMoN (Sanctuary Integrated Monitoring Network for the Monterey Bay) surfactants
act like a detergent to reduce the waterproofing ability of feathers."
