I don't trust any of them. I'm familiar with their test projects they've done, one in Florida. And I know they've done something successful with that weird screw fly thing down south of the border.
Did. Trump killed that program, and now they have found screwworm flies as close as 30 miles from the border of California and Arizona.
It will devastate some of his biggest supporters if it makes it across the border, ranchers are total of dicks.
~~Ok now you’re venturing into conspiracy theory territory. Nobody wants a screwworm outbreak anywhere. They’re a categorical pestilence.~~
Edit: I misread your comment - apologies.
What did I just say? That they successfully controlled the screw worm with it. Jesus Christ read it before you trash it.
