My dad heard something being sprayed and even with his poor eyesight could determine that someone was spraying something, maybe he even felt something on his face. My dad came in and told my mom he was going to bed, that he felt a soar throat coming and pain in his chest. When my mom woke him up if he wanted to eat, he told her that he wasn't feeling good and didn't feel like eating, soar throat, thinking it was a flu. My dad passeed away (date) to colon cancer. He never said anything and his body was getting infected day by day from bowel obstruction. He had kidney failure...and never said anything that he was feeling ill, would even hide the fact that he was throwing up. The doctor told us that he would have had the cancer for about 10 years.

Le petit chien est entre a la maison pour avaler de l'eau a grande vitesse. Ma mere dit qu'il s'emblait s'etouffer. Mon pere lui avait toute la gorge et l'esophage d'irriter. Puis mon pere et le chien ont tombe malade. Ils etaient tous les deux au lit, mal de gorge, ne mangeait pas et se sentait pas bien. Le petit chien lui a commencer a etre faible, il tombait et semblait tout meler. Par inhalation (respirer) puis il avait manger l'herbe pres de l'arrosage. Il a ete expose en meme temps que l'arrosage. Le monsieur n'a jamais cesser quand meme que mon pere et le chien etaient dehors. Ils sont tellement pres un de l'autre peut etre 3 pieds de distance. Le chien avait de l'amnemie cause par ce pesticide, puis il le traitait pour une maladie mais moi je leur disais que c'etait cette poison et ils avaient lu les effets de ce pesticide et voulait me rassurer que ce n'etait pas mortel. Mais ils se sont tromper. Le chien a commencer a developper des difficultes avec ses glandes ranales, puis le foi, puis son pancreas, puis il etait devenu diabetique et le meme matin commenca a vomir de la matiere noir. Le veterinaire avait de la difficulte a admettre qu'ils s'etaient tromper, Non plus une maladie mais plutot une suite a la poison mais ne voulait rien dire par peur. Je suis temoin de la souffrance de ce chien, il a tellement souffert, c'est vraiment criminel. Et mon pere, il est a l'hospital avec un cancer d'intestin. Le medecin affirma que le cancer serait de 10 ans mais 5 ans auparavant mon pere avait eu un CT scan de l'abdomen et rien, alors c'est quoi cette affaire. Moi je pense que cette poison activer des cellules pour causer un cancer aggressive. Ils arrosent le parc chaque annee droit devant mes parents. Tous leurs chiens sont morts de cancer leurs chats. Ma tante voisine est morte de cancer. Toute la region entourante, chaque maison ou deux, meme moi-meme, mes animaux mort de cancer. Le parc est arrose chaque annee avec le Round Up. Les barbeaux meurent sur le bord du lac...La preuve est ce que j'ai temoigne suite a cette poison. Moi je pense que cette poison attaque l'oxygene de la plante et detruit alors c'est la seule chose en commun avec l'humain puis cela attaque les cellules d'oxygene chez les animaux et humains.
