I never said anyone was sued for having their crops cross-pollinate. However, let me pose these three points about Monsanto to you:
1. They are known to be aggressive in courts.
2. They are simply promising not to sue for cross-pollination.
3. They have been caught lying before.
This last one is regarding a herbicide called Roundup, where Monsanto lied to European farmers about its toxicity (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roundup_(herbicide)#Legal_cases http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roundup_(herbicide)#Legal_cases). I used it and feel bad about it because I try to keep the surroundings healthy (I dont have any crops though). So if they say "Oh yeah its fine we're not gonna sue you don't worry" it makes me feel sceptical.
- hga 13y agoThe Wikipedia article in general and the case you've cited with its links don't support the claim that "Monsanto lied". It sounds like a debatable point, depending on the French definitions of whatever Monsanto actually said in French. If my Cajun mom had taught me French I might look into this further, I think someone who knows it would be required.
