The Monsanto Pig (Patent pending)

The patent applications were published in February 2005 at the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) in Geneva. A Greenpeace researcher who monitors patent applications, Christoph Then, uncovered the fact that Monsanto is seeking patents not only on methods of breeding, but on actual breeding herds of pigs as well as the offspring that result.

“If these patents are granted, Monsanto can legally prevent breeders and farmers from breeding pigs whose characteristics are described in the patent claims, or force them to pay royalties,” says Then. “It’s a first step toward the same kind of corporate control of an animal line that Monsanto is aggressively pursuing with various grain and vegetable lines.”

Check out the documentry movie "The Cooperation". There's plenty about Monsanto in there. Sure it's about the New World Order. They are slowly but surely genetically modifying the entire food supply, with genes to which they own the patents. They take seeds for plants that would normally produce new seed for the next crop at harvest, and modify them to not bear any seed at all (called a "terminator seed"). And you can't just say you won't buy these seeds, because of a little thing called cross-pollination. Thus your crops no longer produce new, free seeds. And should you be the victim of this cross-pollination, you'll be lucky if you don't get hit with a lawsuit for not paying royalties on their genetic property. This is the first I've heard about them taking on the animal supply. Scary, New World Order shit indeed.

Monsanto is disgusting in everything they do.

And thank your local cocksuckers at the Federal Government for allowing them to do this.
