Poisons and Toxins .....all over the place
 
So many times I read how residents just spray, pour, paint, spread glyphosate, roundup, and other horrible stuff all over the place. And then our animals walk over the walkways/grass and carry it into our homes on their paws, onto the furniture and beds....... Then they lick their paws to clean them. Does anyone think about alternatives? No wonder there is so much cancer, allergies, stiffness, etc. Anyone have better options for lawn care, cleaning, etc.? Thanks.

It's all for naught, if you don't wrap your head in tin foil.

Keep your dog out of my landscaping. Keep you dog off the furniture. Stop buying into the hysteria.

You are referring to "residents" doing this, my questions is why are allowing your dog to walk on their lawns? Also you mentioned you "read" how this is happening, does that mean you have never really witnessed it?

Hey! Why are your animals walking on private grass? Did you not think people would be too angry about that, to answer your question?

According to the EPA, Roundup and glyphosate do not cause cancer.

Could wash dogs paws before reentering house.

Oh my, I think I best not wade into the astonishing amount of denial on this thread. In the 21st century, I wouldn't have guessed it would still be running so deep.

--- Signed, Child whose father died (brain cancer) 20 years sooner than he should have because of the KNOWN (to management - DuPont) cancer-producing chemicals being pumped into the air and water where he worked.

Their complicity, eventually, resulted in one of the largest class action lawsuit in American history because 1000s were killed or seriously harmed by those known carcinogens.

(But, you all keep making fun of exposure to chemicals primarily policed only by the chemical producers themselves. SMH!)

May want to stay out of my lawn then. It’s loaded with all kinds of things. But then I’m sure you aren’t one of the rude ones who lets their dog into my corner lot. Respect my hard work on the lawn and your animal has no problems. I do spray all the way up to the curb too.

Well said MightyDog, thank you. Just this week there was a story about more and more young people getting cancer. My husband has to see a hematologist monthly, at his appointment this past week there were two very young men with brain tumors waiting for treatment.
