Exclusive: Chemical in treatment for pet fleas and ticks is found in nests of blue and great tits, killing chicks

 

Songbird chicks are being killed by high levels of pesticides in the pet fur used by their parents to line their nests, a study has found.

 

Researchers surveying nests for the harmful chemical found in pet flea treatments found that it was present in every single nest. The scientists from the University of Sussex are now calling for the government to urgently reassess the environmental risk of pesticides used in flea and tick treatments and consider restricting their use.

 

Cats and dogs are widely treated with insecticides to prevent against fleas. Vets often recommend regular flea treatments as a preventive measure, even when dogs and cats do not have the pest. But scientists now recommend animals should not be treated for fleas unless they actually have them.

Labour have never given a shit about the armed forces, Starmers crew of incompetents have taken this to new levels very quickly not just with the armed forces but anyone who doesn’t subscribe to their ideology.

Yes definitely don't treat anything for a problem that doesn't exist.

 

This is another thing against the systemic neonicotoids.

That's proper shit. Extermination by stealth. If the cats themselves don't get the birdies, then their fur will. Great.

 

They were feeling optimistic.

Trump calls emergence of DeepSeek a ‘wake-up call’ amid doubts about sustainability of western artificial intelligence boom

 

 

You've got to laugh... All that imaginary money - gone.....

All money is imaginary I guess, I take your point though.

What with the electric cars that China are producing cheaper than the west, and now this, 2025 could be the year the balance of power flips.
