An open letter all Americans-Why Have We Become A Dumping Ground For US Chemicals & Bio

An open letter all Americans-Why Have We Become A Dumping Ground For US Chemicals And Biotech Products Manufactured In The US

An open letter all Americans.

In New Zealand we seem we have become the dumping ground for U.S Chemicals and the experimental ground for the Biotech products manufactured in the United States and we are paying the price. New Zealand is being turned into a parking lot. Our forests, waterways and our heath are all being systematically destroyed by your patented products which are designed to kill things.

I’m left wondering what sort of people are Americans. Maybe it’s not Americans but the 200 or so scientists you gave ‘safe haven’ to after WWII.

We banned your nuclear ships but the thing is, it feels like you ‘nuked’ us anyway. The deaths and destruction are subtle. It will leave the infrastructure behind but the soil and water will not ensure safe habitation for who knows how long….if ever.

Very recently we a had minor victory with the Taupo District Council banning 1080 aerial drops. This evil compound made in Alabama, enough to kill 20 million people every year, is shipped to NZ to kill opossums. Our death by poison rate, is 3 times that of the road toll.




Why is there such a need for the U.S to control everything? Why can’t you people be satisfied with what you have got? Why so greedy?
Your products are destroying the world on a global scale and we’re supposed to like you?
Can’t you people look at the big picture and think at least 6 generations ahead?

Is it not enough to have clean water, chemical free food, clean air, a peaceful existence, a future for your children, grandchildren and so on?


So corrupt and greedy. You bitch about NZ Yogurt full of Soy Lethin yet you export this bleached sludge from the residue of GMO Soy so Fonterra can put it in our milk powder and we export it back to you to bitch about. It would not surprise me at all seeing as the Department of Conservation have been dumping 1080 near milking sheds. If comes back to you with residue of 1080, I would not be surprised. We have NZFSA to test for residue but they don’t because ERMA said it was safe. More ass covering.

I guess it’s the old saying…what goes around comes around.

The thing is I have come like some Americans and realise we have many things in common. We share the same needs, wants and aspirations. Working together is the only hope we have for a better place. We also face the same problem of corruption, injustice, pollution.

How do we find a way forward without killing each other?
Ps. I hate your vaccines and medicines.

I love your guitars. You make the best guitars. Wish I could afford to buy one.

With all due respect
Donna BIRD
