MORE! Erosion Control Blankets at Whittier Narrows Wildlife Sancturay


OH! I forgot..... One other issue with Erosion Control Blankets rolled out and now embedded with weeds and all over the Sanctuary, is that the 'green' that you see is a dye. Dyes of this color are for marking places to indicate that something has been 'laid' down which is either a pesticide or a herbicide.

Questions of the dye itself have been raised. What is its toxicity? People who work at the Nature Center do not know whether it is toxic or not or, won't talk about it... But, what IS seen, by docents and guests, are animals running over the material. Questions about the safety of the animals, because of the Blankets, have been raised but bodies of animals tangled in the plastic netting have not yet been found.

As I have mentioned, the Blankets have been sprayed with a dye - UGLY! - And now, we have proof that animals are ingesting the material.

VOILA'

Dye colored coyote feces. Notice, you cannot 'see' the fecal matter, the brown stuff, that is. Could the bagged feces, be digested? All that you see is the netting encasing the partially digested material. Consider if you swallowed a plastic bag, how well would you be over time? How much nutrition would you receive from the food you eat? And, could this stuff kill you? By plugging the up plumbing?

Why would the agency, which is supposed to know about, and care for the open space, the plants, the animals with our tax money, put this stuff down on the ground in a wildlife sanctuary? Was it really ignorance? Malice?

Think about it...
