The Yurok Tribe, the largest Native American tribe in California, will join other peoples such as those from Russia, Italy, and Germany in saying NO to genetically modified organisms. The tribe has just announced that it is implementing a ban on all GM crops and GM animals. [1]
A committee meant to review the Yurok Tribe Genetically Engineered Organism (GEO) Ordinance, which was first allowed public comment, has now been enacted this December, 2015.
The Tribal GEO Ordinance prohibits the propagation, raising, growing, spawning, incubating, or releasing of genetically engineered organisms (such as growing GMO crops or releasing genetically engineered salmon) within the Tribe’s territory and declares the Yurok Reservation to be a GMO-free zone. It is the first ordinance of its kind in the Nation.
This tribe previously tried to protect their land and rivers from genetically modified salmon, and now have decided that all GM crops and animals pose a serious threat.
The Yurok Tribe’s homeland is on the Klamath River, where massive algal blooms, exacerbated by agricultural runoff and antiquated hydroelectric dams, turn the river toxic each summer.
Violations of the ban can be enforced through Yurok Tribal Court.
“It is the inherent sovereign right of the Yurok People to grow plants from natural traditional seeds and to sustainably harvest plants, salmon and other fish, animals, and other life-giving foods and medicines, in order to sustain our families and communities as we have successfully done since time immemorial; our Court will enforce any violations of these inherent, and now codified, rights,” Yurok Chief Judge Abby Abinanti stated.

And they wonder why they were defeated.
This comment is the perfect display of the level of ignorance and prejudice and “intellectual arrogance” which embodies the entire attitude of the pro-GMO advocates. It is an illustration of the complete lack of appreciation of other cultures, other sociological factors involved in spreading these products without any regard for the ethics and socioeconomic impacts to local areas. It is a total disregard not only of the totality of science, but demonstrates an absence of sociological and ethical disciplines of research; GMOs do not happen in a bubble based only on selective corporate science and confirmation bias (the hallmark of pseudoscience), they happen in real-world conditions that effect a multitude of other factors which have no consideration by these pro-GMO advocates. This built-in ethnocentricity (the belief that your own cultural or ethnic group is superior to that of another) by pro-GMO advocates demonstrates the kind of ignorant, arrogant attitude that only what they believe to be true is true and all other perceptions are not valid, and this attitude enables the spread of GMOs into countries that do not want them with a total disregard for the local populations and cultures where these products are promoted with nothing but lies and a twenty year history of failed promises. This kind of comment by this person is disgusting, but it exemplifies perfectly the supremely ignorant mind and arrogant personality of all supporters of GMOs.
most likely a shill subconsciously or intentionally
who has ZERO regard for the Human Existence a precious existence
of Natural Evolutionary Organic Activity & Manifestation THERE MUST be Justice upon of those such to destroy what is Pure and aligned within an ascension towards a Greater Good for ALL.
simply put these robots
ARE the retardation of all existence.
Corruption itself.
Yes feeding the world is a very corrupt thing to hope for.
Here is your feeding the world by corruption,

You’ll try some idiotic twist, but there are 6 corporations that I can think of to get these chemicals, would you care to make one of your uneducated guesses.
Poisoning the crops right before they start to produce, now you can go in and help because you killed the farmers.
That’s corruption there you idiot, but at least your dream team will get more profit from their crimes against humanity.
How is it you have a world to feed, oh yeah your simpleton friends are part of the military industrial complex.
Feed the world with poison and bs, way to go stupid.
Lol, you are stupid. That’s like saying guns kill people instead of people killing people. Ag chemicals can be used to produce crops, but in the wrong hands they can destroy them so let’s blame the companies instead of the people doing the work. All you wish to do is whine and insult. You can’t keep up a real conversation.
Yes they only sell them for shareholders profits, doesn’t matter what they are used for. That is a very definitive example of corruption.
Kind of hurts knowing your hero’s first kill then rush in to provide your claims of feeding the world, which they don’t.
If they were feeding the world, there wouldn’t be a 300% profit margin. They are conducting business as usual, bottom line.
Your really an idiot, spew some more BS there turd.
I’m sure your view on guns is also fascist, so ya might as well leave that topic alone there humanitarian, lol.
LOL, maybe you should see how natural some of your food really is since almost all of it has been changed very unnaturally by man.
Vague statement, please provide realistic examples of your claim.
Moron.
Cross-breeding differs from unnaturally, immorally, artificially sticking DNA from one species into a totally different species.
Banning GMOs is one step. Here’s the next step.
