Farmers and Nature Protection
The Death of Billions of Micro-organisms
"Many people, in part guileless consumers, think
that farmers are active protectors of nature, who stand for flora and fauna,
for forest, field and animal. Upon closer examination, one learns
differently. Frequently, they are the killers of nature and animals. Without
the slightest pangs of conscience, farmers annually kill millions of small
organisms and micro-organisms by spreading liquid and solid manures and
deadly chemicals.
Onto their tiny bodies, the poison rains down, the traditional murderous
disaster. What torment the countless animals must endure, until they die, is
all the same to the greedy ones without conscience. Killing takes place for
a »good and satisfactory« price.
And the »gentleman farmers« do not stop before trees and bushes that stand at the edge of their fields and may cast a slight shadow over them. Whether trees and bushes are filled with sap or not - they fall victim to the farmers miserliness. After all, the short shadows could lessen a field's yield."
