RR Crops + Deer Stomachs = ???

I posted this article in the general forum but thought it would be interesting to the QDM guys as well. I know there are 2 sides to every story but an interesting read none-the-less.

I have heard of it causing damage to livestock before but not seen that article. Can't compare a pig to a deer, but you have to wonder if it does affect them. I personally would not grow any RR crops for deer. It's not what they were meant to eat, it is not regular corn or soy. but they do seem to survive OK on farm land where RR crops are grown. Still makes me wonder what could be happening that is not seen...

When I took my non typ. to the deer expo last Aug. in Nashville, several guys who worked for TWRA came up and looked at my deer. They asked me if he was taken near any cotton based farming. I told them there was some cotton farming in the area, but not a lot. They seemed to believe there was a connection between his palmated rack, which had exploded with points, and chemicals used on cotton plants. I have to wonder, tons of cotton in west Tn., yet you very rarely seen these type racks. If these chemicals kill insects and plants, they cant be good for humans. If chemicals did cause his antler growth, then I say lets grow more cotton! LOL

Just about all row crops grown on farms are RR as far as I know so all deer that live in agricultural areas are eating a lot of it. They sure seem to grow bigger but I don't doubt there being some negatives to these genetically altered plants.

I've seen no evidence what-so-ever that eating genetically modified plants causes any harm.

There is hardly anyone left that doesnt plant non-RR crops so almost every soybean or corn that a deer consumes is RR and its been that way for awhile.

I posted those links in hopes of people educating themselves .I hope others have clicked on them and read them, other then the silliness posted at the top of the page. I posted a comment in the garden section on rr sweet corn aswell that really gives my opinion !
