I'm dealing with pesticide use in Tanzania in my PhD studies and am not so surprised of what I read. I found that people sometimes use it to kill hogs etc. <br />One must be aware of the desperate situation many people live in and in lack of other help/knowledge such methods might seem like their best option.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01593303279191019521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13252251.post-91299335309482735042010-01-07T02:50:27.182-08:002010-01-07T02:50:27.182-08:00It would be really interesting to get a reference ...It would be really interesting to get a reference to the show you were citing.

I was doing research into ancient Rome the other day and saw how the spectators were reported to have wept at a Roman Colloseum-where about 20 elephants were being killed for nothing more than sport -the man who put on the spectacle was a wealthy Roman general -Pompey- and he thought his spectacle would make him well loved by the crowd-instead when the spectators heard the distress and trumpeting of the elephants especially as they were being slaughtered they rained down curses on Pompey's head!! best to you as always -love your blog!!Devinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08467101354793913827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13252251.post-36990382131555603222009-03-30T12:25:00.000-07:002009-03-30T12:25:00.000-07:00It was heart wrenching to watch.
