About glyphosate.

I had a friend who had two Labradoodles, who were the love of her life.

This friend had a demanding occupation ( surgeon.) and didn’t have a lot of time. Consequently, with a very small yard in back, she covered it with rock. Certainly not my choice, but that’s what she did.

Soon weeds began appearing in the rock, as they will. She was pulling them for a while, but got tired of doing it so she started spraying round up. I warned her not to do this and told her that it was going to hurt her dogs, but she did not listen to me.

First one dog got cancer then the second and both died.🧑‍⚕️

I really could not stand to talk to her after that. As far as I am concerned, she murdered her dogs.
