Pat Thomas reports on animal sentinels in a toxic world

EXCERPT: One toxic connection that links people, pets, and farm animals is exposure to the herbicide Roundup produced by Monsanto (now Bayer).

Our pets (and other animals) at risk from glyphosate

* Pat Thomas reports on animal sentinels in a toxic world

At-a-glance

* The once-rare blood cancer lymphoma is now common in humans but also in animals, with dogs, cats, and even cattle being affected.

* Lymphoma incidence in humans steadily rose during the 20th century, and though recent years have seen a slight decline in overall incidence, some subtypes continued to increase sharply in the 21st century.

* Today in the US, the most common type of lymphoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, is the seventh most common cancer in both men and women.

* Genetics alone cannot account for such a rapid rise; environmental factors must be a major factor.

* A 2012 study found that the use of lawn care pesticides raised the risk of lymphoma in dogs by 70%.

* In the early years of the 21st century, rates of lymphoma in beef cattle rose sharply, coinciding with a rise in the use of genetically modified (GM) glyphosate-tolerant crops in animal feed.

* More than 40,000 people have filed lawsuits alleging exposure to Roundup herbicide (the active ingredient of which is glyphosate) is the cause of their non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

* Pet owners are recommended to keep their animals away from herbicide-sprayed areas and to switch them to an organic diet – safety measures that also make sense for humans.
