We’re happy to announce that Oxitec will not be releasing experimental GMO mosquitoes in Tulare County, California, this year.
The California Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR), responsible for approving or rejecting Oxitec’s application, has issued a notice stating that Oxitec has withdrawn its application for the experimental GMO mosquito field trials intended for the 2023 season.
While this is a victory and a reprieve, the fight against Oxitec is not over. Oxitec has made it clear that the company will re-apply to DPR in the future. With billionaire money backing them, from the likes of Randall J. Kirk and Bill Gates, Oxitec will not rest until the company has established itself in California and subjected CA residents to its unnecessary experiments.
Oxitec is still experimenting in Florida. The company’s goal is to have its GMO mosquito products approved federally to sell directly to consumers in every state across the country.
We must be vigilant and keep educating our family, friends and neighbors about Oxitec and its risky GMO mosquitoes. This is only a temporary reprieve. Oxitec operates with deceit. As it did in Florida, Oxitec will be back in California. An informed public can’t be fooled by this unethical corporation.
Watch our podcast about Oxitec and GMO mosquitoes if you haven’t already. Share with everyone you know. Let’s make sure that Randall J. Kirk, Bill Gates and their GMO mosquitoes don’t have a market, even if, in the future, the U.S. EPA gives Oxitec approval to sell them at Home Depot and Lowe’s. We can bankrupt Oxitec before the frankenskeeters ever get to the stores.
Send an email to federal and state regulators urging them to reject Oxitec’s future applications. Tell them you’re watching closely. We’ve made it quick and easy. If you have time, edit the text to make it your own. Share with all of your friends! TAKE ACTION HERE.
Let’s swat Oxitec and these GMO skeeters and send them into the dustbin of historically foolish ideas.
Thank you for taking action to make your voice heard,
The GMO/Toxin Free USA Team
