Environmentalists silent on threat from water tainted with estrogen
http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=56623
When they netted 123 trout and other fish downstream from the city's sewer plant, they found 101 were female, 12 were male, and 10 were strange "intersex" fish with male and female features.
The main culprits were found to be estrogens and other steroid hormones from birth-control pills and patches that ultimately ended up in the creek after being excreted in urine into the city's sewers.
If you're killing mosquitoes to save people from the West Nile virus, you can count on secular environmentalists to lay down in front of the vapor truck, claiming some potential side effect that might result from the spray." "But if birth control deforms fish – backed by the proof of an EPA study – and threatens the drinking supply, mum will be the word."
